NEW – Ligonier Home of 72-year-old woman entered by thief

The Tribune-Democrat

LIGONIER State police at Greensburg are looking for man who barged into a 72-year-old woman’s home Wednesday in Fairfield Township and stole large amount of prescription pain pills from her medicine cabinet.

The police said that the suspect, using high pressure sales techniques, posed as a carpet cleaner when the woman opened her door when he knocked on it. The man walked past her into the house even though the woman repeatedly said that she didn’t need the service, the police said.

The man, who persisted, eventually asked to use the bathroom and walked back a hallway to reach it, the police said.

Trooper John Dixon warned that the suspect, who apparently works with two other men, may attempt to use the same tactic other locations.

The other two men waited in the vehicle, described as a Maroon Chrysler Town and county minivan. The suspect was described as a white man, about 20 to 30 years old with short dark hair. He was wearing a light-colored button up, short-sleeved shirt and kaki trousers.

Anyone with information was asked to called the state police’s Greensburg Barracks at 724-832-3288.
