Each of the individuals appearing in court was informed or reminded by a judge that their driving privilege was suspended resulting from a previous driving under the influence arrest by a law enforcement agency.

Eight individuals were observed leaving the courthouse and five of them made the appropriate decision not to drive. The remaining three chose to drive away from the courthouse and were stopped by officers. Officers arrested those three drivers for misdemeanor violations of driving with a suspended driver’s license. One of the drivers, un 18 años de edad,, was found to have an opened container of alcohol and a small amount of marijuana in the vehicle when contacted by officers. An investigation determined that this driver was not driving while under the influence of alcohol or drugs. The three vehicles stopped were towed and potentially face a 30-day impound.

The Oxnard Police Department will continue to conduct operations like these to help make our community and roadways safer.

These operations are funded by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety through the National Highway Transportation Administration.

DETALLES:

The Oxnard Police Department has been informed that residents are receiving scam phone calls involving the Department of the Treasury. Individuals are being told that they have won a grant or similar award but have to provide personal information or send a sum of money for the “award” to be released. In some cases, the caller has become aggressive and threatening.

Esto es una estafa. The Department of the Treasury does not have this type of program nor would they threaten a member of the public if they are not provided with money or information. Similarly, any person calling and claiming to be from a government agency would not demand or threaten a member of the public.

Scams such as this have been circulating for some time and on previous occasions, the Oxnard Police Department has received reports of the callers purporting to be from Southern California Edison, the IRS, the Sheriff’s Department and miscellaneous law offices. Recordar, there are many variations of these scams but all end with the victim losing their money or property with the promise of gain. Below are some tips to avoid becoming a victim.

· Do not give your personal identifying information to anyone that you do not know or did not solicit their services.
· Do not respond to any request that you send money or information to someone because you “won” un premio o una lotería.
· Do not respond to anyone asking you to send money by “wire” transfer (you are sending cash – you won’t get it back), “Western Union” or “Green Dot”, etc.

What to do if you are a victim of a scam or identity theft:

·Accumulate all of the paperwork showing that you have been a victim and contact your local police agency to initiate a report.

·If the scam was not completed, you are not a victim. sin embargo, if you would like to report the scam to authorities, contact the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) en www.ftc.gov, https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov o llame al (202) 326-2222.
