Tree Service Scam Operating in Billerica

3/10/10 - Please be aware that a “tree service” scam operation has been operating in Billerica. A group of men posing as tree cutters have been working their scam throughout Middlesex County/Southern NH. Typically they operate in a way that distracts the homeowner while a second suspect enters their house and burglarizes the home. If anyone comes to your home asking you to step outside to inspect some trees that they will be cutting down please call Billerica Police. While they often pose as tree cutters keep in mind that their scam could involve any story that may distract you. These men have most often been seen operating an extended cab, full size white pickup truck with Maine license plates.
