Peoria PD offers scam guidance

The Peoria Police Department is encouraging people to avoid a possible scam. 

A man posing as a city employee attempted to sell a home security light Wednesday to someone who lives on Frostwood Parkway. An older white man posing as a city employee reportedly approached the homeowner and displayed a badge requesting payment.

The Peoria Police Department says the city is not selling lights. Information regarding such incidents should be directed to the Peoria Police Department.
