Dearborn police seek theft suspects who posed as utility workers

Dearborn — Police are seeking the public's help to find two suspects they say posed as water company workers to steal from an 89-year-old woman.

The men knocked on the front door of a home in the 7500 block of Anthony Street about 3:30 p.m. Wednesday and told the resident they were from the "water board," police said.

The pair, who did not have IDs, said they needed to check the water inside the home.

"Once inside, they stated she needed to pay her water bill," the Police Department said in a statement. "The homeowner went to get the money while both subjects followed. The homeowner opened a safe containing a large amount of money. One subject took the money while another took the safe."
