Scheme to Defraud - Elderly Targets

 

 

On December 5, 2008, at approximately 12:00 p.m. four males approached an elderly female soliciting to pave her driveway, at a residence on Tayco Dr. in Brooksville.  The victim denied the request and the subjects persisted, throwing gravel down on the driveway, then advised the victim she owed them a large sum of money.  They also entered the elderly female’s residence and attempted to convince her to call multiple banks to obtain the money. 

Suspects:  Four white males.  No further information available.

Suspect Vehicles:  Orange, yellow and black dump truck towing a trailer with unknown equipment.  Two unknown white pick up trucks were also observed.

It appears this incident was part of a transient or travelers criminal group.  Report any suspicious activity or similar incidents immediately to the Hernando County Sheriff's Office.
