Theft of gas from a gas station on Hwy 16 on Friday night shortly after 11 p.m. The truck was a commercial Ford F-350 loaded with what appeared to be scrap metal. The man who pumped the gas was Caucasian and wearing blue overalls.

The Microsoft Virus scam. A person clicked on a link they believed to be a Microsoft tech link. The person then provided their credit card information for what they believed was antivirus maintenance. Several hundred dollars later and the addition of numerous viruses prompted the person to become leery as to the authenticity of the transaction. Credit cards were cancelled. Police spoke with the person.
