7:29 a.m. An officer took a report over the phone regarding a lost iPhone.

The officer advised the woman to call right away if there were new pings so that an officer could attempt to locate it for her. Based on the radius of the ping and it being a week old, the officer told her that the phone could be somewhere else or in any one of the apartments. The woman said she understood and did not want to get anybody in trouble but wanted to locate her phone so that she could trade it in.

10:56 a.m. An officer went to Longview Drive to speak to a man who believed he had been the victim of a scam. The man explained that he had met a woman on the social media platform Instagram and had been chatting with her using the app’s messenger feature. After several interactions, the man exchanged phone numbers with the woman, as he felt their “relationship” was growing. But he then became suspicious when the woman began explaining how she had been scammed out of $4,000 and asked him if he could help her out by sending her some money. The man began investigating and found out that the number he had been texting came back as registered to a person named “Big Ruby” with a phone number from Nigeria. The man stated he never provided the person with any financial information nor did he provide them with any personal information outside of his name and that he lived outside of Boston. The man had sent “Big Ruby” a picture of himself and the outside of his home to “prove he was real.” But outside of that, he had provided no further information about himself. The officer suggested that the man block any numbers and or Instagram profiles associated with the person he had been texting with and advised him as a precaution to monitor his credit activity in case the person had found a way to gather more personal information about him.

He then walked to the front of the store, looked around, grabbed a few brown paper bags and walked back to his shopping cart. The man then put the food into the bags to make it look like it was paid for, went to the front of the store by the exit doors, waited a minute for customers to leave and then walked out with the shopping cart full of food that he had not paid for. The manager gave the officer an itemized list of the items that had been taken. The manager said that he would drop a copy of the security footage off at the police station on Monday. He was advised to call police if the suspect returned to the story. The manager had already circulated the man’s photo to the store’s employees.
