12:24 a.m. An officer’s cruiser was struck by the rear bucket of a backhoe during overnight snow removal on Washington and Pleasant streets. The cruiser with its blue lights illuminated had been parked behind a vehicle that was set to be towed from the left-hand side of the one-way stretch of Washington Street due to the snow emergency parking ban. The backhoe stopped immediately after striking the cruiser. The cruiser’s passenger-side mirror was completely dislodged, as was the rear taillight, and there was a large scrape down the entire side of the cruiser. The officer retrieved the mirror and other parts of the cruiser that had fallen on the street and placed them on the passenger side floor board. The backhoe did not appear to have suffered any damage. A sergeant photographed the scene and completed an accident report. The tow truck then arrived and towed the illegally parked vehicle.

11:50 a.m. An officer spoke in the police station lobby with a woman who was having an ongoing issue with someone making fraudulent purchases using her Bloomingdale’s customer loyalty account, which in turn was tied to an American Express credit account that the woman had closed. The woman said that when there were not enough points in the loyalty account, the person had been able to use the old American Express card information to complete the fraudulent purchases. Until recently, the woman believed that the issue had been resolved, with both Bloomingdale’s and American Express aware that she was not the one making the purchases. However, even though she had told American Express not to authorize any charges to the old card, a customer service representative told her that the company had been letting the charges go through because of her good status with the company. The woman believed that she personally was not out any money, though she had been deprived of the loyalty points that had helped fund the fraudulent purchases. The Bloomingdale’s account had last been used over the Martin Luther King Day holiday weekend to order a PlayStation 5 and PlayStation Portal Remote Player, which were shipped to New Bedford. A previous order, for a pair of low-top men’s Bottega Veneta Orbit Sneakers retailing for over $1,000, were shipped to the same address over the New Year’s holiday. The woman surmised that the scammer was ordering items over holiday weekends to allow the fraudulent activity to go undetected until after the items were shipped. The officer said he would share the information the woman had provided with detectives.
