The suspects offered to spray a chemical on the victim’s roof to prolong the life. They talked their way into the residence and then distracted the victims while they committed theft.

The Washington County Sheriff’s Office also wants to make the community aware that there are multiple traveling sealing crews in the area offering unsolicited services.
Please be cautious of all contractors offering services that you did not seek out. Although not illegal on their face this type of solicitation is often associated with unlawful scams.
