I've just taken a report of a new scam. Man in full Post Office uniform called at the victim's house and says he has a letter for him with unpaid postage. Insists on an an electronic payment for 65p but the card reader apparently didn't work. Suspect told the victim he would return with a new one and leaves. Victim is now suspicious and calls his bank to find he is missing ?300. Warn your friends and family.

On a more serious note I just took a call from a guy who is out looking for his girlfriend and left his mobile live after he finished talking to me, heard him say he was going to kill her and ask his friend if he had his knife with him. Yes we are trying to find her first!'Cigars are a hobby, cigarettes an addiction'

Might be worth finding him first. Given you can get his cell site.Originally posted by PeeJay View PostOn a more serious note I just took a call from a guy who is out looking for his girlfriend and left his mobile live after he finished talking to me, heard him say he was going to kill her and ask his friend if he had his knife with him.

Without a Superintendent's authority we can pin him down to a quarter mile radius and we wouldn't get that authority based on a threat heard over the phone. In more serious cases they can be located within 50 yards by triangulation.Originally posted by ValeTudoGuy View PostMight be worth finding him first.
