From the New Bedford Police Department:

“Please be aware that the Department of Public Infrastructure has informed the Police Department that they have received reports of two men going door-to-door in the City, impersonating DPI staff in an attempt to gain access to houses. The two men, driving an unmarked silver van, have claimed that the houses’ water is compromised and that they work for DPI and will inspect it. Please know that DPI employees will ALWAYS have badges, and would drive a City vehicle, not an unmarked vehicle. The NBPD is investigating. Residents should contact communications at 508-991-6350 to report any similar suspicious activity to the police.”
