RFCOP Crime Update Week of June 11th-17th

RF Crime report week of June 11-17, 2012

Note from the RFCOP:

We would like to express our condolences to Roxanne, John and Ian Rinehart, patrollers for the citizens on patrol, for their recent loss of their great aunt Alice Crane and to Marie Mencken who is a niece of Alice.  Alice has been a resident of the Forge residing on Brandon since August 1954 and possibly the longest permanent resident in the forge. 

We are currently working on statistics for the past 1 ½ years of crime incidents in the forge since January of 2011.  We are very proud of everyone’s participation in helping make our community a safer place to live by reporting suspicious incidents and keeping an eye and ear out for neighbors.  Currently it appears we have not had a first degree burglary in Rodgers Forge since April, 2011 up to and including this present report. The statistics should be available by September.  Always keep vigilant with “Lights on, Lock up, Look out”.

International scammers are calling elderly people, posing as grandchildren and conning them out of thousands of dollars. This phone scam has been occurring throughout Maryland.

Carroll County Police Warn of Callers Scamming ‘Grandma’ International scammers are calling elderly people, posing as grandchildren and conning them out of thousands of...

Police say unsuspecting older adults in Carroll County have been receiving phone calls from individuals pretending to be their grandchildren, pleading for money to help them get out of jail.
Capt. Clarence Lust, assistant chief of criminal investigations at the Carroll County Sheriff's Office, said the latest incident occurred Monday and cost a resident of Third Avenue in Sykesville $1,900.
“Normally, they go, ‘Hey grandma or grandpa!’ to whoever answers the phone, who asks, ‘Who’s this?’” Lust said. “And then they say, ‘Well, you guess who it is.’ Whoever they say, it’s ‘Yeah, you’re right.’”
Once the person has taken the bait, the rest of the call is spent convincing the grandparent that their grandchild has been arrested and needs bail money, Lust said.
The scammers request that the money be wired through Western Union. Lust said in another case, a resident reportedly sent $1,500.
The callers, who police suspect are part of a criminal organization that uses a complex call forwarding system, have been traced to places like Mexico and Guatemala.

A total of four cases have resulted in individuals mistakenly sending checks for similar amounts, he said, but residents have received several more calls than that.

The sheriff's department is urging the community’s older residents to exercise caution when a caller identifies themselves as a grandchild.
Grandparents should verify the information by calling him or her back, Lust said.
