Even with proper identification, the cable guy who comes to install or repair your cable service may not be trustworthy.
Maureen Sharp of Chesterfield Township, Mich. discovered that for herself when she called Comcast to help fix a problem with a phone line.
The cable company sent Lequentin Ahmad Randolph, 22, who told the family to leave their own bedroom while he “checked for a problem.”
Instead, he allegedly checked out Laureen’s armoire and emptied it of its contents — $10,000 worth of sentimental jewelry including her wedding ring.
Randolph, a Detroit resident, was found nearby by local authorities and was pulled over still in his cable truck. Chesterfield Township police found two pieces of gold jewelry on the driver’s seat, the rest in a bag hidden behind a panel in the truck.
Comcast immediately declared they were not responsible and had no comment regarding the alleged actions of the cable repairman because he was an employee working for LE Com Communications, a contractor hired by Comcast to handle routine installation and repair work.
Randolph was booked for felony larceny and was scheduled for a preliminary hearing today.
