CATSKILL â The Greene County Sheriffâs Office is investigating the robbery of a Catskill man by two men posing as Central Hudson Gas and Electric employees, Capt. Tracey Quinn said Friday.
The men approached the victimâs door and identified themselves as Central Hudson employees who were replacing a transformer in the area and saying the power would be out for a while.
Central Hudson was providing generators, but one of the men needed to inspect the homeâs circuit breaker panel, Quinn said. The homeowner allowed the men in the house.
After they left, he discovered that one of the men stole money from the home, Quinn said.
