1….(Petty Theft) One of our residents on Yerington Ct reports that some person(s) unknown stole his American Flag and a potted plant from the front of the residence. These incidents occurred sometime between Thursday 05/20/21 and Saturday 05/29/21. Anyone with information about these two thefts should contact the Lincoln Police.
2….(Amazon Phone Scam) Early one morning a resident was awakened by a Scammer who stated that he was a representative of AMAZON and that the resident’s account had been breached. The Scammer said that someone had made a large charge on the resident’s account. He first asked the resident to log onto a website
(WWW.ULTRA VIEWER.COM). Luckily this resident was unable to get into that website. Had the resident followed the scammers instructions while on the website the scammer would have taken control of the resident’s computer. The Scammer, being unsuccessful with that approach, then told the resident to go to Walmart and purchase gift cards. The resident was wide awake by that time and started questioning the Scammer. The Scammer immediately hung up.
3….(Vandalism) Over the past few months there have been reports of person/s unknown leaving various food items (unwrapped),candy bars, an adult diaper and raw eggs on different driveways and lawns on the 2500 block of Woodacre Lane. Over the past year there have been several other types of incidents reported in this general area. Those incidents were reported in past Alerts.
4….(Grand Theft) Tools were stolen from a construction worker’s truck on Strolling Hills Ln in the middle of the day. The thieves pulled up next to the construction worker’s vehicle. They put on their flashing hazard lights and proceeded to remove the tools. Witnesses did not think anything about it. The suspect’s vehicle was possibly an Acura, dark color. No further description.
NOTES:
#1, 3, & 4.. We live in a relatively safe community, however from time to time there are opportunist thieves who drive through our villages looking for easy targets i.e. doors left open or unlocked, valuables left in plain view in vehicles.
The police cannot be everywhere, therefore residents need to be alert and report any suspicious persons or vehicles. This is the mission of Neighborhood Watch: Observe and Report.
Call IMMEDIATELY to give police time to arrive.
If it’s an emergency call 911, non-emergency call 916 645-4040.
When describing vehicles, note license plate numbers, make and model of vehicle, color, age and direction of travel and give it to the dispatcher when you call.
#2.. (Phone Scams) One way to prevent being SCAMMED is to not answer your phone unless you recognize the caller. Let your recorder take the call. Then decide whether you want to talk to the caller. When in doubt, contact a relative, friend or neighbor and get their advice.
