In the last two-week period (Jan 29 – Feb 11), 43 incidents were reported in Beat 204. Of those, only one was reported in the area we patrol.

On February 17, 2022, a resident on Woodland Hills reported an incident via APD’s online citizen reporting system. The resident was attempting to sell something via Facebook Marketplace and detected a very high potential for fraud during the transaction. I have read the report. and he was absolutely right. Hats off  to the resident for being cautious about this transaction and pulling out before falling victim to the scammer!
