JUST A REMINDER:  Schools are out for summer session.  Please pay extra attention when driving around parks and playgrounds as children will be out all hours of the day.

Recently, a flyer was distributed to the community regarding scams targeting the monolingual Chinese.  These scams involve telling the victim that an evil spirit is following them.  They will ask the victim to bring valuables to pray over as an offering to the spirit. They will return to the victim what is believed to be their valuables. They will ask the victim not to look at their valuables for a day.  When the victim later checks their valuables, they find that the valuables were not returned by the suspects.

We urge all person(s) confronted with this scam to call 911 as this is a crime in progress.  By contacting 911, you greatly increase the chance of catching the suspect(s) so that the police can make an arrest.  If someone approaches you with this scam, decline their help, call 911 immediately and report it to the police.  Be a good witness.  Obtain a description of the suspect(s) and/or vehicles they are driving. 

最近傳單流傳社區針對中國語的詐騙。這些騙局涉及一個邪惡的精神,他們告訴受害人邪惡會跟隨你。他們會問你攜帶你的貴重物品祭神為您祈禱,事後他們將您的貴重物品歸還.然後會告訴你在一天時間不要看您的貴重物品。一天後,當您檢查您的貴重物品,你會發現,犯罪嫌疑人並沒有歸還您的貴重物品

因為這是一個正在進行中的犯罪騙局。
 
我們呼籲所有的人,面對這種詐騙,

請撥打911,這將大大增加逮捕機會,是一個很好的證人和嘗試取得犯罪嫌疑人的描述,或他們所駕駛的車輛。

如果有人接近你,請記住這是一個騙局,請拒絕他們的幫助,

並立即撥打911向警方報案。

Arrests:

12:30pm     1500 Blk Hampshire    Theft w/Prior
Officer Bernard responded to the call of a person stealing packages from the entrance of a private residence.  Prior to his arrival, several officers had detained a suspect matching the description provided by dispatch.  The officers brought the witness/reportee to the location where the suspect was detained, and he positively identified him as the person who had taken the package from the home. 

Officer Bernard interviewed the reportee who told him that he observed the detained suspect riding a bicycle which he parked and got off of.  The suspect then walked up the street and reached over a retaining wall where he removed a package from the front porch of a home.  The reportee then called the police.

Officers located the package on the suspect.  They took control of the package and the bicycle he was riding.  All items were given to Officer Adams who responded to Ingleside station for further investigation.  The suspect was also transported to Ingleside station pending follow up.  A record check revealed various arrests for stolen property and that he was on active probation. 

Officer Bernard made contact with the resident of the address where the package had been taken from.  The resident confirmed the package was addressed to him and verified he had ordered its contents.  He told the officer that he did not know the suspect and gave him no permission to remove any items from his home.  The suspect was booked at the instruction of Sgt. Sawyer.  Report Number 130500514
