Menifee Police are seeking information from any local residents who may have been the victim of a scam or burglary involving a former Verizon services installer.
In 2012 and 2013, Marisa Lee Heim-Davis, 32, entered at least two different residences in the Sun City community of Menifee on repeated occasions to install and/or repair TV/phone/computer equipment. While inside the residences, Heim-Davis stole hundreds of the elder victims' prescribed Vicodin and Norco pain medications.
According to police, there are suspicions she disabled Verizon services to convince the victims she needed to enter their homes to make repairs or conduct follow-up inspections and tests. During the repeated ruse visits, Heim-Davis asked and used the victims' restrooms, which she occupied for longer than normal. It wasn't long after she left their homes that both victims realized she'd stolen their much-needed pain pills.
The Menifee Police Department would like to remind citizens, specifically elders, not to allow anyone to enter their homes whom they don't know and to stringently monitor/watch those they allow in their residences. If there is any doubt about the installation, repair or follow-up utility or maintenance services, call a company supervisor and verify identification before allowing entry.
If there are suspicions persons who are attempting to enter, are impersonating others, or trying to con their way in, immediately call law enforcement.
Anyone who believes they were victims of Marisa Heim-Davis' scam, prescription pill theft, or any other theft involving similar cons or scams are encouraged to contact Menifee Police Detective Tom Salisbury directly at 951-210-1046.
