Crime Alert for period ending March 23, 2007 Altercations/Disorderly Conduct: Kensington Church, 1825 E. Square Lake, 3/11, 1330 hrs. Officers responded to a report of three subjects picketing the church
on the sidewalk along John R.
Members of the same group had been picketing the week before, had
allegedly been on church property, were advised by officers of trespassing
laws and directed to remain on public right of ways if they wished to
picket. On 2/18 members of the
same group entered and disrupted a service inside the church “yelling and
screaming that the church was misleading its members.” Their behavior apparently disturbed
numerous attendees to the point that they left the church out of fear of an impending
incident. Church representatives
approached the group at that time, and they remained argumentative during the
contact and did eventually leave.
Misdemeanor arrest warrants for “Disorderly Conduct” have been
authorized by the Troy City Attorney’s Office against a 21-year-old male from
Sterling Heights and a 26-year-old female from Riverside, California as a
result of the disturbance they created inside the church on 2/18. On 3/11 officers determined the
group had not entered church property and were legally on the public sidewalk
protesting within the law.
Officers spoke to the individual who purportedly was the group’s
leader. He is a 36-year-old male
from Sterling Heights. He
advised they were aware of the picketing laws and were being conscious not to
violate them. He stated he just
wanted to get his message out that “what the people attending the church were
being taught is false.” The
group left without incident. The
members of the group against whom the warrants have been issued have been
contacted and advised by TPD to turn themselves in on the warrants. Assaults: Assist Other Department/Law Enforcement: 14 Mile east of Dequindre, Sterling Hgts., 3/16, 1600 hrs. Troy plain-clothes officers proceeded to the area on a report issued
from Sterling Heights PD that a 28-year-old male involved in possibly
stealing a family vehicle had returned it, but was last seen leaving the area
on foot. Troy officers located him on foot in the area and assisted SHPD take
him into custody. Auto/Vehicle Thefts: Livernois and Regents,
3/15, 1442 hrs. Officer observed a
white Pontiac Aztec driving with a March 2007 expiration tab affixed to the
plate. A computer query on the
plate indicated the vehicle was stolen out of Royal Oak. As officer followed it the vehicle
made an abrupt turn into a gas station parking lot, parked and the male
driver began to walk away.
Officers detained him. He
had the keys and indicated the vehicle belonged to his ex-fiancée and he had
failed to return it to her.
He was arrested. Apartment Complex, Pond Ridge, 3/17, 0252 hrs. Complainant reported two B/M’s were attempting to steal his ’95 Buick
Regal and had fled on foot.
Officers located a coat hanger stuck in the doorframe of the vehicle.
Complainant stated a relative’s older Pontiac Bonneville was stolen from the
same general area on Pond Ridge two weeks ago. Footprints in the snow leading away from the Regal
ended at a residence in the same complex. Attempts to get an answer at the door were
unsuccessful. When a dispatcher
called the residence and advised the person who answered the phone it was the
police department the subject immediately hung up. Investigation continues. Detroit, 3/21, 1220 hrs. DPD reported recovering a ’02 Ford F250 pickup in their town
originally reported stolen in Troy on 3/17. Ignition punched, tailgate damaged and vehicle
identification missing. Detroit PD, 3/14, 3/15, and 3/17 DPD reported recovering the following vehicles in their city that were
reported stolen from Troy: ’01 Dodge Caravan stolen on 3/4 - ignition and lock damage; collision
damage. ’00 Dodge Intrepid stolen 3/7 – ignition and lock damage with

stolen 3/12 – ignition and lock damage; collision damage. Breaking and
Entries:
Crash
Investigations: Credit, Check, Identity Theft, and other Fraud: Taco Bell, 3268
Rochester, 3/5, 1800 hrs. Complainant stated a
drive through customer driving a burgundy colored vehicle paid with what
turned out to be a counterfeit $20.00. Complainant reported
discovering her cell phone was some how cloned and is being used by a
21-year-old male from Warren. Complainant discovered
her checking account overdrawn by $2200.00. When she went to the bank they indicated they discovered a
fraudulent check made out to her for $2200.00 that contained her
endorsement. She stated she did
not cash or endorse the check.
Complainant reported
discovering an unauthorized $700.00 deposit into his bank account, followed
up by a $3600.00 electronic check withdrawal. Unknown on source of fraud and the bank is investigating. A 52-year-old male
complainant from Troy came to the station to report that he received an email
from a subject claiming to be a CEO of a company that was looking for a
payment agent in the U.S. who would collect funds from customers in the
states and wire/transfer the monies to the company in London for a 10%
commission. He filled out an
application and was called shortly thereafter by another individual who
advised the first shipment was on the way and it was necessary for
complainant to process this transaction as soon as possible. He was directed to deposit the funds
in his account and then wire cash via Western Union to a location in
London. He received 5 American
Express Gift Cheques of $500.00 each via UPS with a return address to an
individual in Oklahoma. When he
tried to cash them his bank would not allow him to, as he didn’t have enough
money in his account. He called
his contact person who instructed him to open a new joint account in his and
the company’s name. He did so
and deposited the checks. He was
initially directed to wire the cash to London, but re-contacted by email with
instructions to wire the money to an individual in Lagos, Nigeria. He was to keep 10% commission himself
and leave $100.00 in the account.
He completed the transaction as directed. His bank later advised him the checks were fraudulent and
he was liable for the monies, his personal account was frozen and he was
advised he’d be turned over to collection at the bank if he didn’t repay the
balance of the funds. Soon after
he got a voice mail from an individual claiming to be a Nigerian Government
official advising the party to whom he wired the money was a scammer and not
to send any more money. Another
individual called advising he was the Finance Minister of Nigeria informing
him they were holding the money that he had wired and if he’d send a fee of
$1850.00 they would release the funds to him but he’d have to come to Nigeria
in person to pick up the funds.
He got a similar call from an individual claiming to be from the
Office of the President of Nigeria.
He emailed his original contact, explaining the entire experience and
requested his money back. The
person responded that he’d refund his money and asked him where to send
it. He supplied the information
but the money did not arrive.
Additional emails to the contact person requesting the monies be
returned were met with a response by email similar to the original,
congratulating him for joining the company and hoping for a long-term
business relationship. Complainant reported
one of her personal checks was apparently stolen, forged and cashed for
$200.00. The person that it was
written out to and cashed it is apparently an associate of one of
complainant’s teenaged kids and has been inside her home. Domestics/Family Troubles: Complainant reported
that while she and her 27-year-old daughter were visiting at a relative’s
house she noticed her car keys missing from her purse. When she checked her daughter and the
vehicle were gone. She suspected
her daughter took the car to buy drugs, as there is an apparent history of
drug use. She contacted the PD
the following day to report her daughter returned the vehicle. She is considering prosecution. Complainant reported
her 18-year-old son took her car without permission and suspected he was out
trying to purchase drugs. She stated it has happened in the past but he
usually returns with it the same day. Officers responded to a
domestic assault report wherein victim fled the residence. Officers were unable to locate the
suspect. Investigation
continues. Complainant reported
15-year-old daughter had run away.
This appears to be an on-going problem. Complainant suspects drug use
may be involved. Entered in
computer system as missing. Troy Officers responded
to six incidents involving family troubles/domestic disputes where
investigations revealed no assaults or other crimes occurred, therefore no
formal enforcement action taken/required. Drugs/Narcotics: Rochester and Long

running and occupied by an 18-year-old male from Troy. He was passed out and it took several
attempts to rouse him. He had a
baggie of marijuana in his lap and smelled strongly of intoxicants. He claimed he was “on his way home

correct side of the road and denied speeding.” While speaking to her, the officer could smell the odor of
intoxicants, as well as marijuana.
She was confused and disoriented. She stated she and her passenger were coming from a party
but she “didn’t know where the party was.” Her 27-year-old male passenger from Farmington Hills

Officers) noticed a 20-year-old male employee from Shelby Twp. had rung up
several refunds on his register over the last two months for items without
receipts for approximately $2200.00.
On 3/21 they observed him remove two receipts from his lap top case
and use them to ring up two fraudulent refunds, crediting his friend’s credit
account for approximately $850.00 in total. He attempted a third refund however the register refused
it. He was detained by LPO’s and admitted the fraud. Prosecution pending. Home Invasions: Shoreline, 3/15, 2140 hrs. Complainant stated she
came home to observe a male crawling under the garage door, which was
slightly open. He apparently
entered the residence through the unlocked pedestrian door leading inside
from the garage. Her father was
inside, so she tried to telephone him and started sounding the car horn. At that point the suspect fled out of
the front door of the residence.
Complainant exited her vehicle and gave chase but was unable to catch
up. She returned to the house
and got her father, as well as his pistol. (Both have CCW permits.) When they went back outside, she observed a GM “diesel
truck” driving away from the residence.
She and her father got into her car and tried to catch up to the
vehicle but were not successful.

grandmother. Shortly thereafter,
Holly PD advised him that they had his grandmother’s credit card, birth
certificate and one of the subjects that had been at his house - a
23-year-old male from Holly who apparently had the items. When he spoke to his grandmother she
stated she suspected some of her jewelry might also have been stolen, as her
credit card was located in her jewelry box. Troy obtained a copy of the Holly PD report, which
indicated the subject’s mother turned the property into them, which she found
at her address. Also with the
credit card and birth certificate was a pawnshop receipt, reinforcing the
suspicion the subject may have stolen and pawned some of complainant’s
grandmother’s jewelry. The
subject’s mother turned the property in at Holly during the course of
reporting that her son had stolen her car. She indicated she suspected he was using the stolen items
to purchase drugs. She also
reported her son had contacted her other son asking him to cash a check for

truck and the subject was not wearing a uniform so complainant refused
entry. He showed her some kind
of AT & T badge/identification card. He stated he’d be outside working on the phone lines. Some time later he approached again
