Cook Co. Sheriff's Office send warning regarding ruse burglary
CHICAGO (CBS) -- The Cook County Sheriff's Office is warning people in the north suburbs of a new ruse burglary.
The sheriff's office released doorbell camera photos of five people. Last Thursday, one of them knocked on the door of a home in New Trier Township.
He told an 81-year-old woman who answered that he was a construction worker, and he needed to show her something outside.
While the woman was distracted, the sheriff's office says four other people went inside the home and stole jewelry. All five people took off in a dark-colored SUV.
