SAVANNAH, GA -
Metro Police are warning people about a fake repairman offering to help motorists, mostly women, with non-existent mechanical problems.
Police were contacted by the Windsor Forest neighborhood watch who reported a man approaching people in parking lots as they walked to their cars.
The man points to fluid on the ground near a wheel and tells the driver they have brake fluid leaking.
He then tells the driver that for $18 he can fix the problem.
One woman who encountered the man in a drug store parking lot on Abercorn St. said she later took her car to her mechanic who told her there was nothing wrong and nothing had been fixed.
The man is said to be in his 50s with short brown hair, approximately 5'8" and 185 pounds.
He was last seen wearing a baseball cap, gray jacket and blue pants.
Anyone who comes across this man is asked to call police.
