The victim was able to provide a description of the suspect who accompanied him. The suspect is a white or Hispanic male, 40-50 years old, white/gray beard stubble, and wearing a navy blue hat with City of Linden Tax Department. City employees do not wear any such hats. He left in a silver club cab pickup truck.
Since the first incident, police say other elderly residents have been approached in possible similar diversion attempts.
