BLOOMFIELD TOWNSHIP (WXYZ) - Bloomfield Township police are investigating a burglary after they believe a man was posing as a worker doing yard work.

A woman told police she came home on Wednesday to find a truck parked in her driveway in the 6000 block of Lahser in Bloomfield Township.

She saw a man who told her he was doing yard work for her neighbor. After the man left, the woman noticed some of her jewelry was missing.

No suspects have not been arrested in this case.

Investigators told 7 Action News they are trying to track down a white truck with blue writing. That is the description the victim gave officers.

Police are looking for a man in his early 40s. 

Anyone who noticed anything suspicious in the area is asked to call Bloomfield Township police.
