PARKESBURG, PA — The tranquility of the Parkesedge Apartment complex was disturbed on March 21, 2024, when individuals posing as utility workers attempted to gain access to residents’ homes under false pretenses. The Parkesburg Borough Police Department is now seeking the public’s assistance in identifying three men involved in this incident.

According to official reports, the episode unfolded at the residential complex located at 601 Green Street, where residents encountered one adult white male and two adult black males claiming to be employees of PECO, the local electric utility company. These claims were quickly debunked by PECO, confirming that the men were not affiliated with the company, casting doubt on their motives.

The Parkesburg Borough has also stated that no permits have been issued for any activity resembling what was described by residents, further deepening the mystery surrounding the intentions of these individuals. Eyewitnesses last saw the trio leaving the area in a white BMW sedan, notable for its heavily tinted windows—a detail that could prove crucial in their identification.

In response to these alarming allegations, the Parkesburg Borough Police Department has issued a call to action for anyone who may possess video surveillance footage or any additional information related to the incident. The community’s cooperation is deemed vital in piecing together the events of that day and ensuring the safety of all residents.

As this investigation progresses, it is essential to remember that information may evolve, and initial allegations are not indicative of guilt. The individuals involved are presumed innocent until proven otherwise in a court of law.

The Parkesburg Borough Police Department stated that it remains committed to uncovering the truth behind this incident and safeguarding the community against similar threats. Residents are encouraged to remain alert and report any suspicious activities to the authorities immediately.
