Fraudulent purchases
Employees with Behler-Young Co., a HVAC/R distributor, called police on Aug. 8 to report that thieves posing as customers stole about $12,000 worth of equipment this month, reports said.Â
The employees said that on two different occasions, two different people posing as workers for a well-known local customer entered their distribution center at 1501 Telegraph Rd. and purchased and signed for merchandise that they then left with. The employees later learned that the men did not work for any of the company's customers, and that the purchases of the HVAC, refrigeration and plumbing equipment was fraud.
No specific physical descriptions of the men were immediately available.
