A man posing as a water company worker allegedly stole thousands of dollars from a woman's home.
Police say it happened when the 89-year-old resident let a man inside her home in the area of East Main Street and Courtland Avenue in Stamford on Tuesday.
The homeowner says the man claimed he worked for Aquarion Water Company and needed to check the pipes.
