The Cass County Sheriff’s Department is warning everyone of a utility scam that can result in people being robbed. It says it was called around 9 a.m. on Thursday to investigate a suspicious situation in which three men were seen in Howard Township going house to house posing as Midwest Energy and Communications personnel. The sheriff’s department has learned the men do not work for MEC. They were approaching houses and asking to see past power bills and asking residents about their satisfaction with the company. In most cases, they left after speaking with the residents. However, the three men did break into a home where no one was present in the 60,000 block of Conrad Road. Anyone with information on the crime is asked to contact the Cass County Sheriff’s Department.
