Fake BWSC workers ransacking Hyde Park homes after cutting phone lines

District E-18 reports the fake water workers who'd been knocking on doors in Roslindale have moved south, getting themselves invited into homes by claiming to be water workers who need to inspect pipes:

While the resident leads one of the team to the basement, the others in the team will go throughout the residence and ransack bedroom areas of valuables. They even sometimes cut the telephone line so the resident cannot access 911 Emergency.

Police advice: Don't let anybody into your house unless you initiated a service call.
