Suspicious Person: C17-58145
During the afternoon on March 22, 2017, Winnipeg Police were made aware of a suspicious male in the Island Lakes area of the city.
A male wearing a Manitoba Hydro uniform had attended to a residence off Island Shore Boulevard. He was wearing a Manitoba Hydro jacket, shirt, and dark coloured pants. The male advised the resident that he was there to 'check if the furnace was up to code'. When the homeowner requested that he produce Manitoba Hydro identification the male said he had left it in his vehicle. He returned to his vehicle, but sped off.
The male is described as:
- Caucasian, approximately 6'1" in height, 25 – 30 years old, with dark coloured hair and facial stubble. The male left in an older model, maroon coloured car.
Manitoba Hydro has advised that they do not conduct random furnace inspections. Hydro employees, most likely meter readers, will be wearing navy-blue pants, a matching jacket or shirt and will have either a baseball hat or toque. In addition they will be carrying a grey laptop. All Manitoba Hydro employees doing residential work will have official identification and will present this upon request. |
