Alert: Phony Assessor Gains Entry into Menomonee Falls Home

MENOMONEE FALLS, WI — Menomonee Falls police are asking the public to be on alert after a man posed as a phony village assessor to gain entry into one resident's home last week.

According to police, on Jan. 12 at 10:00 am, a subject claiming to be an assessor for the Village Of Menomonee Falls was allowed to enter a residence in the
southern area of the Village by the home owner. It was later determined that
the unknown subject was an imposter.

Police say the subject was described as a white male, mid 30s, 5’10”, 190lbs, brown hair, clean-shaven, wearing a brown bomber-style jacket and dark colored
pants. The subject was wearing some type of identification tag that did not
match those issued by the Village.

The subject was seen driving a late model black Nissan Rogue or Murano 4
door with no front registration plate.

Nothing was taken from the residence, and no other suspicious subjects
were seen in the area.

• Do not open your door to someone you do not recognize. Do not allow anyone to enter your home if you are not sure of that person’s identity.
• Ask to see photo identification (I.D.) through a window. Legitimate employees will comply with your request to show you their I.D. if you ask.
• Call the Menomonee Falls Police Dept. at 262 532-8700 if you have any information regarding this incident or observe this individual in your neighborhood.
