DAYTON —

The Dayton Police Department is looking for two men with a fake badge who scammed and robbed and elderly woman Thursday.

The men showed an 86-year-old woman a counterfeit police badge when they knocked on the door of her home, Dayton police Sgt. Roger Edwards said. The men told the woman they were looking for her granddaughter and money taken in a robbery.

After the woman refused to let the men, they left and came back with what they said was a search warrant. The men searched the woman’s home and stole about $225 and a .22 revolver, according to a Dayton police incident report.

One of the woman’s neighbors came to visit her while the men were still inside. When the woman told her visitor to come inside, the men left in an early 2000s blue/gray Buick LeSabre.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Dayton Police Department at 333-2677.
