Oak Park Police are on the lookout for suspicious pickup trucks driven by suspects dressed in work clothes who are running a common repair scam and burglary ruse.
Residents have reported men knocking on doors warning residents about much-needed repairs that were spotted while passing by or doing other work in the neighborhood.
On several occasions the men entered the home under false premises such as checking the ceilings for cracks or inspecting the windows, twice stealing money while the homeowner was distracted. On other occasions, the men pretended to make a repair and then demanded an exorbitant payment.
In one instance, the suspect claimed to be a Village employee, while in another claimed to be from a construction company working in the area.
Police say these are old scams and the elderly are especially vulnerable, warning that these con men and thieves often case the neighborhoods to identify individuals they think might be easy prey.
The best defense is to just not open the door to a stranger, police say. And, if you are in doubt or feel threatened, lock your door and call 911.
