South Lake Tahoe Police warn of car repair scam

The South Lake Tahoe Police Department is warning people, especially senior citizens about a car repair scam.
Two men approached an 89-year-old in the Safeway store parking lot on Johnson Boulevard and offered to fix a dent in the senior citizen's car for $80 in cash plus an additional $20 for more work later.
The senior citizen agreed, so the men went to the senior citizen's home where they not only worked car in the garage but entered the home. Because the job done on the car was shoddy and in poor quality, police believe it was a scam to get a look inside the senior citizen's home and to take money.

Police describe the men as Hispanic in their 30's driving a full-sized, white SUV with a rear lift gate hatch.
The South Lake Tahoe Police Department is warning residents about the dangers of allowing strangers into their homes and getting repair work done by unlicensed or uninsured repairmen.
Anyone who comes across a similar situation is asked to call Sgt. Shannon Laney at 530-542-6100 at the South Lake Tahoe Police department.
