College Station woman says tree trimmer scammers in the Houston area also targeted her home
COLLEGE STATION, Texas (KBTX) – A College Station woman says on Monday a pair of men offering to trim trees at her home took off with some of her personal property.
“As one of the men distracted me in the front, the other went into the back and went into my home,” she said.
The woman asked not to be identified and said College Station police were investigating her case, but she reached out to News 3′s Rusty Surette after she said she saw the same men featured on a Houston TV news report.
