Video shows fake DTE workers accused of killing man, hurting wife in Rochester Hills

Two suspects claiming to be DTE workers killed a homeowner and restrained his wife with duct tape at a home in Rochester Hills on Friday, officials say. Authorities are searching for the two men. It's unclear if they are armed, but the sheriff's office said they should be considered dangerous.

Don't open your door to someone wearing a mask.

Who comes in at night from DTE? That’s a red flag.

[DJMetzler]

DTE does not service gas in Oakland County. Know your service providers.

Anyone who flaunts paperwork you obviously can’t read or read at the moment are lying to you. They are just trying to break walls of defense

This is why I don’t let anyone in my home. Not utility companies especially. Basically if I don’t know you you’re not coming in my home and if I do know you and you never called before coming over then I’m definitely not letting you in.
I will call the company and verify you first and set an appointment for return.

Anyone wearing a T-shirt like the one he was wearing wouldn't be working for DTE.

So I guess Ring decided to finally start cooperating and obey the search warrant.
They literally refused to earlier because the wife didn't have her phone to login (probably stolen in the home invasion). Even though they had her permission and an actual search warrant.

Personally, I don't open doors, but I have had these arguments with my elderly parents and family members that will open the door for anyone. Its infuriating.

[almeganbouchard]

I feel so sorry for this family...no one has a right to criticize this family

[xXTopNoTcHXx]

Word to the world DON’T trust anyone. Scammers all around

[CensorCipher]

Wow they looked a lot more legit than I expected them to. Scary stuff.

[redband]

Sloppy and wearing a mask is a nope. I worked for a utility for years and they would never send someone looking like this to enter your home.

[mollyhurst]

I don't trust anyone wearing a mask.

When I was a teenager, I'd go with my older friends to pawn their things and then go back. The owner was a great guy. He was murdered as well 😔 People can be so cruel. I'm so emotionally drained from all the hate, anger, and violence going on around us. It's accelerating at an alarming rate.

[Chmcdrz]

Don't open doors for strangers, especially at night 😢😢

[propertybycrystal]

This is why DTE sent out emails warning about imposters and what to do.

[dripskee]

Electric and gas companies rarely will need access to your home. Always verify

[chrise]

DTE does not have "natural gas" in Rochester Hills; it would've been Consumers Energy. Big Red Flag immediately! And burglars didn't figure that out beforehand; that should narrow down where they are from.

[elsierodgers]

You would think the man would be more cautious knowing the business he's in.

[sharplance]

these are the same gang that attacked asian family in FL- they survey the small business, follow the owner, pretend to be a utility and then rob the house.
