Water Heater Scam
The Hammond Police Department got a call from a resident stating that two white male subjects came to her residence and advised that the city hired them to do some work on the water. The complainant advised that the males advised her that the water had oil in it. The complainant let the two male subjects inside her residence and one male subject went to her water faucet while the other walked around the house.

The complainant advised that one subject told her that she should notice a difference in the water and both subjects left the residence. The complainant advised that she walked through her house and noticed some money and jewelry missing.

One subject is described as a white male 6' 0" and weighs about 230. The other white male is described as being tall and slim. The City of Hammond has not contracted with anyone to do anything with the water.
