Code Officers visited each construction site to verify compliance. Code Enforcement Officers (CEOs) issued a written warning to a construction site on the 100 Block of Camden Drive for not properly emptying and covering a large construction dumpster. CEOs will return to the site to ensure compliance with Village Codes. CEOs responded to a complaint of construction workers not abiding by facial covering requirements at a construction site on the 100 Block of Camden Drive. The site was issued a written code violation warning with copies sent to the homeowner and general contractor. The Code Enforcement Unit continues its support to the Patrol Division by assisting in manning special details related to beach security, verification of compliance to COVID -19 regulations, and high visibility patrols. Criminal Investigations The Criminal Investigations Division (CID) continues to assist Patrol and Police Administration during the Covid-19 emergency. The CID assisted with the compilation of situational reports for staff, and conducted daily patrols of the Village to enhance police visibility. Detectives investigated a case involving an internet scam. The victim wanted a refund on the purchase of online tickets to an event. He searched for the company’s telephone number on the internet and called who he thought was the vendor; it was not. Instead of obtaining his refund, the scammer convinced the victim to purchase cash/gift cards in an elaborate and fictitious refund process. In the end, the phone number could not be linked to any person and the victim lost over $5,000. The CID followed-up on a report of a fraud by divorcing spouses. The husband alleged his soon-to-be ex-wife used his credit cards without authorization to make almost $2,000 in purchases. The investigation revealed the wife was still an authorized user to the account at the time of the purchases. The victim was referred to his divorce attorney for resolution of the case since no crime had been committed.
