City of Minot warns of people posing as city employees

MINOT, N.D. – City of Minot officials are issuing a warning to residents about two men claiming to be Water and Sewer workers to get into peoples’ homes.

Minot Sewer Department Superintendent John Reynolds cautioned that real city workers won’t show up unannounced unless in the event of an extreme emergency.

He also said real workers will be wearing a city uniform with a yellow vest and official city logo and be driving a city vehicle which also has a logo.
