September 13, 2007, 3:48 PM
An elderly woman told police a man came to her front door on 26th Place, stating he worked for the city of Berwyn. He entered the house and told her “there was a report to the Health Department” and he was there to look for mouse droppings. He then entered her bedroom and looked through her closets and kitchen. While he was in the kitchen, a second man came to the back door, and the first man let him in. The two men left within five minutes. Once they were gone, the woman realized her purse and $260 were missing. The victim said the first suspect was a heavy white man with short black hair, wearing an orange shirt.
