Two Stocky Males are driving a Red Pickup with a Flashing Yellow Light

Buffalo, NY – Erie County Sheriff Timothy B. Howard reports a suspicious incident and warns the public about two males posing as utility workers.

On August 8, Deputies and Detectives responded to a Center Street residence in the Town of Colden to investigate a daytime burglary.  A stocky black male and a stocky white male in their late thirties to early forties, wearing high-visibility, utility style vests and carrying two-way radios convinced homeowners they needed access to the property and the residence.  The suspects made off with cash and other valuables.

The subjects were seen driving a red, standard cab pickup truck with tinted windows.  The truck resembled a Ford body style and had a yellow flashing light on the cab’s roof.

Anyone seeing this truck is asked to call the Sheriff’ Office at 716-858-2903 and refer to CL # 18-063271.

Sheriff Howard is warning the public about this duo and is strongly advising not to allow these individuals to access your property or residence.
