TIGARD (AP) — Tigard police say two men dressed as security guards fooled a pair of bank customers into giving them deposits.
Police spokesman Jim Wolf says the phony guards stood outside a night deposit slot and told the victims it was out of order. The men offered to take the money and make the deposits when the bank reopened.
Wolf says the men wore uniforms and had badges and guns. The night deposit slot was covered by a sign saying it was out of service.
The thefts happened Friday night at a branch of Wells Fargo bank. |
