From Maplewood Police today:
On 11/8, a resident of Hilton Ave reported that around 6 PM the previous
day a male approached her husband and offered to fix the crack in their
driveway for $50. The male was operating a Home Depot rental truck and
was in the company of a female and small child that he reported to be
his wife and child. The female and child also asked to enter the home
and use the restroom during the time the "work" was being performed.
Upon completing the work, the male requested $750 dollars for the work
instead of the agreed upon price. The work was not performed well.
Please remember not to let anyone into your home that you do not
know and not to use contractors that you are not familiar with. There
is a Township Ordinance that prohibits solicitation without a permit.
If you observe "workers" you believe to be suspicious or that solicit
without a permit please notify the police department so that they may
investigate.
