Thieves Pose as Roofers to Steal Thousands from Elderly Victims
LANSING, Ill. — Thieves are tarnishing the reputations of Illinois roofing contractors by pretending to be roofers and stealing from unsuspecting victims.
CBS-affiliated WBBM-TV reports that three men approached the home of Arturo Salinas of Lansing, Ill. uninvited. One of the men was seen on surveillance video speaking to Salinas outside of his home. Salinas, a Korean War veteran, and his wife Elisabeth said the man claimed there was something wrong with their roof and garage.
