The caller asked whether the resident was between the ages of 80-85 and made an appointment to attend the residence for a maintenance check of their furnace on March 23.
However, the caller did not show up at the agreed time; instead, two suspects attended the residence unannounced on March 27.
Upon arrival, the suspects entered the basement and asked for financial documentation for the furnace. The resident became suspicious and called the heating and cooling company, which confirmed they did not send anyone to the residence.
The suspects were subsequently asked to leave and they complied.
No property damage or stolen items were reported by the home’s resident.
Both suspects are described as Black males, approximately 20 years old, with slender builds and carrying dark duffel bags. One suspect wore a dark toque. The suspects drove a silver sedan.
Investigators ask anyone who lives in the area to check their dashcam or surveillance footage for evidence related to this case.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the financial crimes unit at 519-255-6700, ext. 4330. Or call Crime Stoppers anonymously at 519-258-8477 (TIPS) or online at www.catchcrooks.com.
