TO NC SENIOR CONSUMER FRAUD TASK FORCE MEMBERS

******Alert #293******

Driveway paver Tommy Edward Clack, also doing business as Ed Clark, Tommy Clark, Ed Crabtree and Crabtree Paving, continues to approach older North Carolina home owners with claims that he has been doing paving jobs for others in the neighborhood, has asphalt material left over, and can pave or repave the home owner’s driveway for a highly discounted price.   If the home owner agrees to let him do the work, he and his crew quickly lay asphalt and then demand a high price for the work.   In June 2010, Mr. Clack was permanently banned by the court from offering or providing driveway paving services in North Carolina.  Since that time, he has been cited for contempt court twice for violating the court’s order.  On April 20, 2012, Wake County Superior Court Judge Paul Ridgeway cited Clack for criminal contempt after receiving evidence that he had done driveway paving jobs for home owners in Knightdale, NC the month before.  Judge Ridgeway also entered an order for Clack’s arrest.

According to prosecutors in Anne Arundel County, Maryland, two weeks ago Clack had a court date there to answer criminal charges related to his driveway paving activities in that area.  Those prosecutors report that Clack requested and received additional time from the Maryland court so that he could raise the money needed to repay Maryland home owners.   Since that time, the Consumer Protection Division of the North Carolina Attorney General’s Office has received reports of Clack performing driveway paving for older home owners in Zebulon, Greensboro and Nashville, North Carolina.  The Greensboro home owner reports that Clack was at his home last Monday.

A photo of Clack appears below.  He no longer sports the facial hair.  If you should encounter Mr. Clack offering driveway paving services in North Carolina or trying to cash home owners’ checks, please contact local law enforcement as well as Investigator Linda Matthews of the North Carolina Attorney General’s Office, tel. 919-716-6000.  Thank you.

CRIME ALERT

April 18, 2012

Larcenies from Vehicles in Commuter Lots

There have been numerous reports of thefts from vehicles in the commuter lots specifically of GPS units.  Please remember to remove items of value from your vehicle, and use the locks.  Leaving your vehicle unlocked creates potential for a “crime of opportunity” making it more convenient for thieves to enter/steal items from your vehicle or any other area with valuables.   PLEASE lock your vehicles.

Car Burglars will seize the opportunity to enter unlocked vehicles.  Don’t make your car an easy target by leaving your doors unlocked. 

·         Always lock your doors.

·         Spare car keys should not be stored in or on your car; thieves know where to look.

·         Don’t forget to close windows and sunroofs.

·         Consider installing a car alarm or security device and place anti-theft stickers on your vehicle. 

The Crime Prevention Unit wanted to send out this as a friendly reminder.

Thank you

Traveler Group 

Over the course of several years this agency has responded to numerous incidents in which victims were duped and subsequently robbed during a “3 Card Monte” scam. Parking lots, hotels, gas stations, and other areas where many unrelated people congregate are prime locations for these incidents to occur. This is a recurring event in the City of Daytona Beach and surrounding areas during high profile events. Indications are that the group is back in Central Florida. They are likely to offend again soon in our area because of the crowds attending upcoming racing events. 

USE CAUTION: The individuals in the traveler group suspected of committing these crimes are known to be armed and are known to be violent people. They should be considered armed and dangerous. When approaching suspected travelers officers should be aware that the travelers will have “backup” much faster than the officer will. This could potentially create a very dangerous tactical situation for a single officer or even larger numbers of officers. It is not unusual for the travelers to have twelve or more persons involved in a single incident and it is suspected that they may have more in a perimeter around the incident. 

Because of the modus operandi and past incidents in the area, it is believed that the suspects in these most recent cases are part of a large band of Travelers. In the most recent incidents in our area both victims described that the perpetrators used violence against them during or after the taking of property. It is not unusual for the group to overwhelm the victim and strip the victim clean of all valuables. The suspects flee in multiple directions immediately after the crime and typically move on to the next target immediately. In our most recent events the group went only 2.5 miles to the east to commit another attack. In the most recent events it was reported that the group were all wearing the same hats. This may have been a way for the crew to quickly identify each other. Both of our recent victims were in their hotel rooms when the suspects contacted them with a ruse to get them to the game. It is unknown how the suspects selected their targets, but it can be implied that they do thorough surveillance prior to engaging their targets, during the engagement, and their egress. It should also be noted that in our most recent incidents the suspects chose hotels with exterior corridors to commit their crimes. As stated, the group should be expected to use any area they see fit to commit the crimes.
