8:20 a.m. An officer spoke to a Clifton Avenue resident regarding a case of identity fraud. The woman reported that the previous Sunday evening she had received approximately 50 emails from an unknown sender regarding newsletters she had allegedly signed up for. Shortly thereafter, she received a text message from Capital One thanking her for connecting her mobile number to her account. She then contacted Capital One and advised them of the fraudulent activity. Capital One confirmed that someone had used her personal information to open a Capital One credit card account. The officer suggested that the woman contact the credit bureaus to put an alert or freeze on her credit. In addition, he suggested she report the incident on IdentityTheft.gov.
10:51 a.m. An officer went to Camille Terrace to speak with a resident who felt like her family was being singled out by a neighbor for complaints about alleged violations of Camille Terrace’s presence in a “no-cut zone,” meaning that trees, plants and other vegetation cannot be cut down with town approval. Last month, tree work on her property had prompted the neighborhood to lodge a complaint with the building department, which had come out and spoken with the family. A short time later, the building department had shown up again at the residence based upon a complaint from the neighbor, only to determine that the resident had not done anything wrong. According to the resident, the building department official told her that the department was going to try to amend the no-cut zone at a future meeting. After the building department’s most recent visit, the neighbor had come out and begun “screaming” at her landscapers about what they could and could not do, according to the resident. The resident believed her neighbor was not complaining to the building department about any of her other neighbors, who also use landscapers.

The officer advised her to call the credit agencies and report what had happened and to also not answer phone calls from people that she did not know. She was advised to call police again if she got any further information.

12:35 p.m. An officer went to Evans Road Extension to speak with a woman who had been scammed by someone posing as a representative of the investment app Robinhood. The woman explained that she was attempting to withdraw money from her Robinhood account and called a number she had found online, thinking it was Robinhood’s customer service. The woman said that the representative asked her for her Social Security number and her account number at a local bank, both of which she provided. The woman did not realize it was a scam until the representative asked her to go to an ATM and withdraw $4,000. The resident then hung up and called the bank, which froze her accounts and told her to call the police. The resident reported that she did not believe she had lost any money. The officer advised her to call Robinhood and have them monitor her investments. He also told her to monitor her credit and report her Social Security number being compromised.

They rang the doorbell and spoke with the homeowners who said that they would have the music turned down, adding that the party would have a “hard stop” at 10 p.m. None of the attendees were on the street or otherwise disturbing the neighborhood, according to the officers’ report.
