Fake Driveway Workers Scam Hempfield Couple

UPDATED: 1:12 pm EDT May 24, 2005

Two men allegedly ripped off an elderly couple in Hempfield, Westmoreland County, by pretending to be driveway sealers, police said.

One man hid near the couple's house on Oakford Park Road, and the other knocked on the front door and talked to the couple about a sealing job, police said. While the couple was distracted, the first man went inside and burglarized the home.

Police describe one of the men as white with a dark complexion and a slightly stocky build. He is between 35 and 45 years old and about 5 feet 6 inches tall.
