Seneca Police Department warns of scam- FBI agents won't ask for gift cards

(From the Seneca Police Department)

We have received calls in reference to an individual (James) calling, stating he is with the FBI.

The caller says that you have been linked to a crime and some of the other suspects have your bank account information. 

The caller tells them to ensure the security of their personal information, to purchase gift cards and then give them the numbers off of the card. 

The caller also advises not to tell anyone about the call or you will be imprisoned for 6 months to 3 years. 

THIS IS A SCAM!! 

The number used to call in this incident was 561-513-8138. Any law enforcement agency will never ask for gift cards as a form of payment. To ensure you do not fall victim to this scam, do not give out any personal information and screen any unknown number phone calls.

Granby Police, Fire departments holding annual Shop With a Hero

(From the Granby Police Department)

It's once again Christmas time, and with that comes our annual Shop with a Hero event! We continue this year with our partnership with the Granby Fire Department to help at-risk youth and families in need.

If you are a struggling family which needs a little help providing a good Christmas for your children, applications can be picked up from City Hall at 302 N Main Street.

We try not to turn down any family, but funding can only stretch so far. Priority will be given to families based on a needs assessment provided from the application and by the amount of applications received. 

Priority will also be given to children between the ages of five and fifteen, but we may extend the age range depending on the assessments and funding available, so even if you have a child outside of that age range, you can still apply. 

Applications also must be limited to residents within the City Limits of Granby.

This year, we will be hosting the event December 21st at 10 a.m. at the Neosho Walmart. Applications will need to be turned back in no later than December 17th to be considered for the program, and a department representative will contact eligible applicants prior to the event to confirm attendance.

If you are a business or individual interested in helping fund the event, donations can be left at City Hall or by contacting the Police Chief directly. Thank you.
