Upon his arrival, he spoke with a woman who said she is familiar with a 13- or 14-year-old boy who often causes a problem for Spitfire Tacos next door. She said that the boy often comes in and smokes inside, steals things and refuses to leave. Today, the woman saw the boy taking a puff of his e-cigarette inside the Starbucks. The boy had left a few minutes prior to the officer’s arrival. He advised the woman to call the police back when he was causing a disturbance and refusing to leave the store.

9:02 a.m. An officer spoke with a woman on Nanepashemet Street regarding a case of identity fraud. According to the woman, she had received a letter in the mail from Capital One last week containing a brand new credit card for which she had not applied. The credit card had her maiden name listed on the back as the card holder. In addition, part of her email address was listed on the front. The woman had contacted Capital One and reported the fraudulent activity, and Capital One had canceled the credit card and recommended that she file a police report. She had also received a suspicious letter back in November asking her to confirm her credit limit. When she called the company — she was not entirely certain it was Capital One — she felt as though the person to whom she was speaking was not legit. For example, they asked for her Social Security number, which she did not feel comfortable providing. Instead, she ended the conversation. The officer provided her with the website Identitytheft.gov to report the incident. In addition, he advised her it might be a good idea to check her credit to make sure there was no other fraudulent activity. He also recommended that she consider placing a fraud alert or freeze on her credit.
