No description necessary

Police in West Bend are asking residents to keep an eye out for someone impersonating a cable repairman from Charter Cable.
A man identifying himself as a Charter Cable Co. employee to a West Bend woman was not an actual employee of the company and the city police department cautions residents to always ask for proper identification.

Police Sgt. Tracy Hetebrueg said the suspect rang the doorbell at a home in the 1500 block of Primrose Lane sometime prior to 1:40 p.m. Thursday and identified himself as a Charter repair person, but Charter told police that the company did not send anyone out for service.
The resident became suspicious when the repairman showed up on time for the appointment.
