EVANSVILLE, Ind — Watch out Hoosiers! Authorities are warning about a new scam happening around southern Indiana.
Indiana State Police said a resident from Bloomfield contacted the Greene County Sheriff's Office on Wednesday, July 26, to report a robbery. The victim told police three men came up to them posing as crew members of an asphalt company looking to reseal a driveway.
"While two of the individuals distracted the victim, the third man entered the residence and stole money and valuables," ISP said in a Friday press release.
ISP said the three suspects were seen driving a white four-door F-150 pickup truck with a red 4x4 emblem.
According to police, the men were described as "possibly white, two of them with a darker tanned appearance, and one as tall wearing a high-visible orange shirt."
If any homeowners in southern Indiana are approached by anyone in a similar manner or if a vehicle matching the description above is seen, you are urged to contact local law enforcement.
State police in Bloomington, Jasper and Evansville are investigating the scam.
