Two armed men posing as employees of the Bahamas Electricity Corporation (BEC) robbed a woman outside her home on Thursday, police said.

According to police, the woman was at her home on Constitution Drive, off Farrington Road, when two gunmen robbed her of a small amount of cash and a set of keys before fleeing on foot. Police said the men were dressed like BEC employees. At last report, the men were still at large. Anyone with information is asked to contact police.

In a statement yesterday, BEC warned customers to always look out for employee identification.

"In all instances, BEC employees in contact with customers should have a corporation issued identification card with the person's name and photo attached," the statement said. "Additionally, this card has unique identifiers including the company's logo and is endorsed by a company executive.

"Additionally, in most instances the individual may also be wearing an official uniform which is either a light blue or dark shirt embossed with BEC's logo and dark blue pants."
