FROM THE INDIANA STATE POLICE – JASPER DISTRICT:

Indiana State Police are warning Hoosiers of an asphalt scam in the Southern Indiana area.

On the afternoon of Wednesday, July 26th, a Bloomfield resident contacted the Greene County Sheriff’s Office and reported that three men representing themselves as an asphalt company offered to reseal a driveway.  While two of the individuals distracted the victim, the third man entered the residence and stole money and valuables.

The victim stated the three subjects were observed in a white four-door F-150 pickup truck with a red 4×4 emblem. The males were described as possibly white, two of them with a darker tanned appearance, and one as tall wearing a high-visible orange shirt.
