Three men target Englewood resident over septic work
Elizabeth Rhoads reported three men at her home on 915 S Broadway asking to pump her septic tank. They looked to “prove” she needed service and left after a remark about it costing nothing. Rhoads found a large hole in the concrete cover and secured the area. Deputy notes describe related local incidents and a recovered newspaper rack.
