OKLAHOMA CITY -- Oklahoma City police are warning people to watch out for an armed robber who's posing as an Oklahoma Natural Gas worker.

Friday morning, the man knocked on the door of a house in the 4000 block of N.W. 62nd Street. He was wearing a blue work suit, a white hard hat and a tool belt. He told the woman who answered the door he was an employee of Oklahoma Natural Gas.

Once inside, the man pulled out a gun. He then let a second man wearing a mask into the house. The two suspects ransacked the house, stole the victim's purse and took a bucket of change before running away.

The crime occurred between 7:30 a.m. and 8:00 a.m. Police are hoping someone driving to work or school may have seen something. They are asking anyone with information about the crime to contact Crime Stoppers at 405-235-7300.
