After a stranger demanded money for a fake roof repair, a duped 90-year-old rode with him to a bank to get cash. Can you help police identify the suspect?

The visitor, a white male with facial scruff in a maroon shirt and a black hat, told the 90-year-old man who answered that he was owed money for roof repairs — which wasn’t true. No repairs had been made.

But the men drove together, in the victim’s car, to a bank in Salt Lake County. The visitor waited while the older man withdrew cash and then drove him home, taking the cash for himself.

With the 90-year-old out “a substantial amount of money,” Unified Police are looking for information about the man who approached him.
