Charleston Police Investigating Scam
WEST VIRGINIA....
Charleston police say two Hispanic men in a black pickup truck approached an elderly woman in the 1500 block of Louden Heights Road in the South Hills area around 4:00 P.M. Saturday, and, while portraying themselves as city workers, told the woman that city workers would start cutting trees on her property on Monday free of charge. One of the men led the woman away from her house to point out which trees needed to be cut while police say the other stole money from her home.
