Theft at Great Stuff: a representative from Great Stuff reported that a pink and black silk blouse valued at $210 was stolen by a customer in the store on the afternoon of April 4th. Though he did not see the woman leave the store with the blouse, it was missing after she left.

Identity Thefts: On 4/2 a Drake Road woman reported that someone had used her social security number to file a fraudulent tax return in February. When the Scarsdale woman filed her own tax return in March, the representative at H&R Block called to tell her that a tax return in her name and social security number had already been filed. The woman contacted the IRS, credit agencies, the social security administration and her bank.

A Griffen Road woman was the victim of fraud on 3/27. She received an email that she believed was from Chase Bank advising her of fraud on her account. When she called the phone number in the email she provided her debt card number and social security number before realizing that she was not speaking to a representative from her bank.

A Carman Road man was advised by Chase that someone had entered a bank in Monroe, New Jersey and attempted to transfer the Scarsdale man’s accounts to an address in Pennsylvania. An alert teller refused to let him make the change when the poser was having trouble remembering the social security number and had to search his phone for the correct number. The Scarsdale man changed his account passwords and alerted the bank’s fraud division.

Car break-in: A car was vandalized on the morning of April 3rd between 10:15 am and 12:15 pm, while parked in the lot at the Girl Scout House on Wayside Lane.

Police found a pry mark on the car next to the broken front passenger side window.
