6) Public Safety Alert
Elder fraud awareness
Portland Police detectives are investigating three cases of theft in Southeast Portland where unknown males have been posing as Portland General Electric (PGE) employees and seeking to enter residences saying they need to perform inspections.
Elderly victims appear to be targeted. In one case, they forcibly entered an occupied residence and stole property belonging to the homeowner.
The suspects have not displayed credentials nor have they driven PGE vehicles. There may be one or two males attempting to contact residents. The men are only described as “scruffy-looking” white males.
All PGE employees carry official identification badges when contacting customers at their homes or businesses. PGE employees typically do not enter residences.
There may be other attempts that have not been reported. Anyone who has someone claiming to be a PGE employee at their door who does not have a PGE identification badge should immediately call 911. Ask the dispatcher to send an officer to check the area to take a report describing the suspects and any associated vehicles.
Anyone with information about incidents like this is asked to call:
Detective Amber Lewis
Desk: 503-823-0887
Email: Amber.Lewis@portlandoregon.gov
