WHITEFISH BAY -- The Village of Whitefish Bay is warning area residents of a home theft scam.
On Monday, Feb. 17, officials say the suspects posed as power company employees and were let into a home. While inside, they distracted the homeowner and stole jewelry.
One of the suspects is described as a Hispanic man in his early 30s, 5'6" to 5'8" tall and around 160 pounds. He had a close-trimmed goatee and was wearing a gray jacket with khaki cargo pants. He was wearing a lanyard around his neck and was carrying a clipboard.
No description of the second suspect was provided. The suspects were in a newer silver/gray small SUV.
