City Employees Claiming to be Checking Services

February 2005 -- Recently there have been cases in Mesa and surrounding cities of criminals posing as City utility workers. These criminals, who usually work in teams, approach the homeowner and tell them they are with the City water department. Then one of them distracts the homeowner by pretending to check the water pipes while another burglarizes the home. If someone comes to your door saying they are with the City, you should call the department they represent and verify that they have workers in your area. Please be very careful not to open your door to strangers.

For your reference, here are a few photos that show the uniforms that City of Mesa workers would be wearing.
