On Friday, January 6th, an elderly man was the victim of a scam. The victim was approached in a parking lot in the 700 block of Sleater Kinney in Lacey. He was told a story of an inheritance that was being donated, and then convinced the victim to withdraw $25,000 of his own money to prove he was trustworthy. The suspect then fled with the victim’s money.
The suspect was a tall, light skinned black male, and his accomplice was a white male.
