Lawrence police on Thursday said they had handled at least two recent reports of suspicious activity in North Lawrence. In both instances, men said they were repairmen, but companies indicated they had no one in the area.

At 2 p.m. Jan. 19, a man entered a residence in the 400 block of North Street, and when he was confronted he said he was a heating and cooling repairman, but local companies told authorities they did not have anyone in the area. The man was described as a white male in his 30s about 5 feet, 6 inches tall and 150 pounds.

Also at 7 p.m. Monday two men went to a residence in the 700 block of Locust Street and said they worked for Dish Network. They were described as two white men, one in his mid-30s and one in his mid-40s. The younger man was 5 feet, 8 inches tall with a slender build, and the older man was 5 feet, 6 inches tall and was heavy set.

Police urged anyone who may have seen the men to call the department at 785-832-7509.
