Deputies said a Palm Coast woman was recently targeted by thieves who used distraction as a tactic.
Investigators said two men knocked on the woman's door on Bowie Place and claimed to be workers from the city's water department. Deputies said the men then looked around her home, but it's unclear if they took anything of value.
Detectives said the men left in a newer model white pickup truck. Both men were described as Hispanic males in their 20s, weighing about 140 pounds with brown hair.
Deputies are urging residents to avoid opening the door to strangers.
