The New York State Police are warning residents of a scam. They are currently investigating at least one complaint of two men posing as utility company workers while another person enters their home and steals money and jewelry. A complaint was reported on Wednesday, November 7 in the town of Franklin where two men wearing walkie talkies approached an elderly couple in front of their residence and distracted them. Another person is believed to have entered their home and taken a large amount of cash, jewelry and coins. The victims report the men were in a white Honda or Hyundai SUV that had out of state plates. State Police warn residents not to let people that are not known to you into your home. Most utility companies will not send a worker unannounced. Have them identify themselves and ask for identification. If you believe the person is an imposter, call 911 immediately.
