Police: Suspicious Door-to-Door Salesman Going Around Waukesha

WAUKESHA - Earlier this week, Patch.com reported that a legitimate cable guy was locked in a Waukesha bedroom when the residents there thought he was suspicious.

This time, a new door-to-door salesman is proving to be suspicious, according to police. Sometimes he shows up as a cable guy, police reports indicate.

Police responded to the 200 block of N. Hartwell Ave. on a report that a solicitor pushed his way into a home there, past the caller's daughter and threatened to turn the family's cable off.

According to police, the man tried selling the family "things" before leaving. The man was described as wearing a white shirt with the word "NOW" on it, and was last seen heading north on Hartwell and later west on McCall.

Police say the man was very aggressive and only left after the residents told him they were calling police.

Police fieled a call earlier in the day regarding a similar situation with a man from NOW communications.

That call came from the 1100 block of Magnolia Drive just after 2 p.m. According to police, a man from NOW communications came to their door asking how many TV's they had in the building.

The man was described as having a backwards baseball cap, a grey polo shirt and dark shorts.
