Janesville police are investigating a residential theft involving two men posing as roof repairers. Police say the incident happened at an elderly man’s home on South Ringold. The victim reported the men knocked on his door and told him they could repair his roof. The man let them in to discuss repairs, and while one of the men distracted him, the other went through the home and stole his wallet. Police recommend residents don’t let unknown people inside your home without a scheduled appointment, always ask for identification, and ask to see a city of Janesville solicitor’s license, which should have a photo attached.
