Crime Reports Dec. 10 – 16
SKULDUGGERY OF THE WEEK: HEY, BIG SPENDER
We’ve heard about a lot of interesting purchases via identity theft in the Park Cities, but this one takes the cake. In October, someone used the identity of a man residing in the 3500 block of Cornell Avenue to purchase a nearly $53,000 Jeep Grand Cherokee over the Internet and had it delivered to a home in Garland. Said thief didn’t make his payments and the scheme was unraveled when Ally Finacial contacted the Highland Park man about the past-due balance, the homeowner reported to police around noon Dec. 12.
