Police are searching for a man wanted for swindling elderly victims out of more than $100,000 in cash.
Authorities say the man scammed elderly victims by claiming to be a relative or a lawyer of a relative that was arrested and instructed them to give him money to get them out of trouble.
Police say the suspect has been connected to at least three incidents in New York City since October, including ones that took place in Manhattan, Queens and Staten Island.
In all three incidents, the suspect posed as a relative or lawyer of a relative over the phone and requested as much as $30,000 in cash in some instances.
