WARNING TO RESIDENTS
-FRAUD SCAM-
A new variation to an old scam has recently appeared in Medina and to date, two residents have become victims of this scam. The scam begins when the victim receives a phone call from someone claiming to be a family member (son, daughter, grandchild) or an attorney representing their family member. The suspect tells the victim their family member has been arrested in Canada for DUI, and bail money or legal fees are needed. The victim is then directed to a local office of a money wiring firm to wire the funds to Canada. Frequently the victim will receive another call after they have wired the initial funds, with the suspect telling them more money is needed and the process repeats itself. Both of the Medina victims have lost over $4,000.00 each as a result of this scam.
The Medina Police Department is currently investigating this scam and working in conjunction with Canadian authorities in the hopes of identifying those responsible.

(Grand Junction, CO)- The Grand Junction Police Department is expanding its popular Crime Free Multi-Housing program to now include a free course specifically for hotels and motels in the City of Grand Junction. The Crime Free courses are very useful ways for the police department to partner with the community to fight crime by teaching property owners and managers how to keep illegal and nuisance activity out, and to provide a safer, more habitable environment for residents.
The new Crime Free Hotels and Motels course will teach those property owners and managers about different laws that effect them, what to look for when people are checking in and out, procedures to follow to help ensure people do not abuse their rooms, and ways to make the property physically safer.
The first Crime Free Hotels and Motels class is on February 24th from 8:00am -1:00pm in the Police Department Training Room.
We are also registering people for the next Crime Free Multi-Housing course. The first step in that program is to attend the free class being offered on February 25th from 8:00am-5:00pm in the Police Department Training Room.
To register for either of these classes call 244-3630. There is no charge for either of these courses.

Baltimore County, Md. (February 4, 2010) - Baltimore County Police are asking for the public’s help in identifying a suspect in an armed robbery of the Royal Farms store in the 800-block of South Marlyn Avenue, 21221, in Precinct 11/Essex.
Detectives say that on December 30, 2009, at approximately 7:05 a.m., the suspect entered the store. When the suspect saw the clerk open the register for a customer making a purchase, he ran behind the counter and began removing cash from the drawer. The clerk struggled with the suspect, at which time the suspect implied that he had a weapon. The suspect removed an undisclosed amount of money from the cash drawer, and then fled the store. A store video camera captured the suspect inside the store.
The suspect is described as a white male, 18-24 years old, 5’6” tall, with a thin build.
Anyone with information about the suspect’s identification is asked to call Baltimore County Police at 410-307-2020 or Metro Crime Stoppers at 1-866-7-LOCKUP (1-866-756-2587). To text a message to Metro Crime Stoppers, send to "CRIMES" (274637), then enter the message starting with "MCS," then add the information.
