(Clinton County, IA) -- The Clinton County Sheriff's Office is warning the public about traveling groups approaching residential or rural property owners, offering to perform tasks such as yard clean-up, driveway repair, or other maintenance.
In many cases, the travelers perform the work to distract the property owner while others in the group sneak into the home and quickly search for valuables.
