Police: Solicitors Caught in Bedford Came from Midwest

A resident of Gordon Avenue reported to police that the "well-dressed" pair had knocked on his door at about 7 p.m. May 11. Authorities located the males. They admitted to peddling.

Both men, who identified themselves as "door-to-door salesmen," are 43 years old. One is from Chicago and the other Detroit. Each posted $50 bail.
