News-Police Flashing Lights

Over the weekend, city police received two complaints regarding a scam.
The ‘Emergency Scam’ targets a grandparent in which the caller claims to be a grandchild in trouble possibly involving an accident or in jail and needing bail money.
The callers will attempt to use urgency, fear and the need for secrecy to prey on vulnerable people.
Police advise that you verify the information prior to sending money.
