Someone has taken a known telephone scam a step farther by showing up at someone's doorstep.

On Sunday a suspect went to a home on the 600 block of 2nd Avenue around 5 o'clock. They told the elderly resident that a family member was in trouble and needed money. The suspect got some cash and left the home.

Police are once again warning residents about people asking for money, whether in person or on the phone. If you have any information that may assist the investigation, please contact Moose Jaw Police or call CRIMESTOPPERS at 1-800-222-8477.
