Lexington Park, Maryland - The St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office is warning the public to be on the lookout for the two fraud suspects pictured above. These suspects are believed to be targeting elderly citizens living in senior living facilities; however they could be targeting anyone, anywhere. They are entering these secured buildings by following closely behind a resident. They may also attempt to gain entry by contacting apartment residents using the exterior keypad. They then use some type of ruse to prompt the resident to let them in. We also need your help in identifying them.
On Friday, March 13, 2015, at 5:07 PM, the suspects entered the Victory Woods senior apartments located on FDR Boulevard, (behind Kohl's Department Store), by following
a resident into the secured building. Once inside, they began knocking on doors identifying themselves as college students selling magazines, or raising money
for the VFW, or St. Jude’s Hospital - changing their story every time they approached another apartment resident.
While inside one victim’s apartment the suspects stole a credit
card, which was later used.
Both suspects are white females possibly in their twenties. The taller suspect, wearing a black hooded jacket and white shirt, spoke with a speech
impediment. The heavier suspect, wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt, had tattoos on both forearms. CASE #14893-15
