(Cass Co) The Cass County Sheriff’s Office says they have been made aware of several incidents regarding at least one, possibly two men and a pregnant female that were traveling on Highway 148 in Cass County and also Highway 34 in Montgomery County. These people had their vehicle (conflicting reports of a white or dark SUV) pulled off to the side of the road and claimed that they were having vehicle problems and/or ran out of fuel.
Reports indicate that these people were well dressed, running/walking/standing in the roadway creating traffic hazards and asking nearby motorists for money and/or fuel. In at least one incident, they offered to sell a piece of jewelry that they said was worth significantly more than it actually was. These incidents occurred Wednesday, November 15th. The Sheriff’s Office has not received any reports today and it is believed these people have since moved along.
If you happen to come into contact with these people or a similar circumstance, please call the Cass County Public Safety Communications at 712-243-2204 so a Deputy or Officer can be dispatched to help or resolve the situation.
