Two men robbed an Arlington woman last weekend after they gained access to her home by posing as repair workers.
A 91-year-old woman let two men inside her South 31st Street home just before 3:30 p.m. Saturday. She told police the men said they needed to perform repair work for a utility company.
"They said, 'There's been a bad accident ... the car hit all the wires [which] are all messed up and we need to fix all of them,'" the victim, who uses a cane to get around, explained.
While one of the suspects kept her confined to the living room, the other rummaged through her home and stole all of her jewelry.
"I have traveled all over the world, I had beautiful jewelry, I had a lot of gold stuff .... my wedding ring, everything," she said. "They took every last damn thing."
Both suspects fled the scene and remain at large.
