Police: Thief Posing As Terminix Employee

FORT WORTH (CBSDFW.COM) - Fort Worth Police say a thief who has gained access to several homes didn't have to break in.

Homeowners repeatedly opened the front door and gave him access to their homes, according to police.

The thief targeted mostly elderly victims and is accused of stealing valuables once he entered their homes.

Police say they have arrested a suspect, but will not release his identity or description at this time because they believe more victims are out there.

Anyone who thinks they may have been a victim, should file a report with FWPD by calling 817-335-4222 and mention the "Terminix Imposter" case.
