Chattanooga Police are asking the Medias help in alerting citizens of Chattanooga and surrounding areas of 2 subjects who are acting as carpet salesmen and then making entry into residences and stealing money from purses or wallets lying about.
Chattanooga Police have taken several reports from elderly people who states 2 w/m’s come to their residence and talk to them about purchasing carpet, they make their way into the residence and then one of them will distract the homeowner, while the other suspect will ask to use the restroom or look the area over and will take money or valuable items from the unsuspecting homeowner.
Police have taken reports in the Bonny Oaks area, Provence St , Granada St and Oriel Dr areas. Police are looking for 2 W/M’s who are in their 30’s, both have brown hair.
These suspects are driving a 2003 or newer model extended cab pick up truck. Officers think it could be a Chevrolet Z71, it is gun barrel blue in color with a blue tarp covering the bed of the truck. This pick up truck will have TX tags on it.
Police are asking anyone who has seen or talked with these 2 suspects, or who may have further contact with them to notify the Chattanooga Police Department at (423) 698-2525.
