Attempted Home Entry On Litzsinger Road: The Big Story of the Week

Men posing as American Water Company workers try to force their way in past an elderly resident.

Just this week, a resident on Litzsinger Road was approached by two men posing as American Water workers. The two men tried to gain access to the home claiming they needed to check under all the bathroom sinks for contaminants.

Residents of Ladue should take extra precaution if being approached this way. This occurred in the 10000 block of Litzsinger Road on July 30.

American Water reported they had no workers in the area at that time. The resident refused entry to the two men. One of the men was wearing an orange shirt and the other a hard hat.
