Don’t let phony water dept. workers into your Marion County home

Marion County Sheriff's Department Chief Deputy Ralph Wright reports that men in a white van are going to area residences, posing as water department employees and, while one of the men (reportedly of Mexican descent) talks to residents and keeps them occupied, the other men burglarize the houses.

The men have not shown identification and communicate through radio.

If you have any information, contact Detective Alkire at (304) 367-5300.
