Garland Police are trying to identify one of two men who have scammed at least two Garland residents out of several thousand dollars.
Suspect #1 has been dressed in business suit and is described as approximately 6’3”, 190 lbs, and speaks with an African accent. Police believe his accent may only be used when he is scamming people out their money. A second suspect joins the first suspect each time and is described as a black male, 6’, 240 lbs and balding.
The two suspects show the victim a large amount of cash and say they want to give it to a charity. They want the victim to help them in giving the money away and to build trust they need the victim to show them some of their money. They convince the victim to withdraw money from their bank and when victim’s money is in hand the two suspects leave and never return.
The suspects will not go into banks because they say it is against their religion to be photographed. The attached picture and video was recovered from a McDonald’s surveillance system where the man wearing the suit had gone inside.
Garland Crime Stoppers is offering a reward for the identity of the man show in this picture and video. 972-272-TIPS (8477).
