AGENT ROBBED IN MILFORD DURING
OPEN HOUSE ON SATURDAY

This past Saturday (8/15), an agent was robbed while holding an open house in the Milford area. Although, she was not physically hurt, she was understandably shaken by the ordeal.

The robbers were two (2) men. One was in his late 20’s and the other in his late 50’s. Both were Caucasian with fair colored hair. They presented themselves as a couple, but separated while viewing the house. They used the excuse of the older man wearing a brace on his leg and not being able to climb stairs.

Please be sure to follow all necessary precautions and safety measures while holding open houses, showing homes, and interacting with strangers.
