Stealing Church Air
Churches should be on the lookout for suspicious activity, according to the Indiana State Police.
While it is known that recycling metal can return a criminal with thousands of dollars. Copper wiring, metal plumbing, wires from cell phone towers and mostly anything with a high level of metal content can be transported to a recycling center for a payout.
Recent thefts of air conditioning units have occurred at places of worship-- the very unthinkable spot where trust and safety is often associated with.
Police urge places of worship to report air conditioning thefts and suspicious activity. As colder temps arrive to Indiana, air conditioning units will be used less, thus their need for service will also seem less noticed-- a perfect opportunistic time for thieves.
Fake money investigated
Sellersburg Police deployed with Secret Service
$10 counterfeit bills were found during a transaction at a Harrison County gas station. Local officials called in the Secret Service, and then it was after several fictitious name-giving's and an actual vehicle accident that the investigation not only got more twisted, but led to further investigation on Milltown Road, according to Sellersburg Police Department and a Clarion News article.
With careful planning and consideration for the safety of citizens, Sellersburg Police Department assisted the Secret Service along with Sellersburg-Charlestown's SWAT team, Indiana State Police, Clark County officers, Crawford County officers, including a K-9 officer, and Harrison County police.
A warrant was served in the early morning hours on Sept. 1st where several people and alleged counterfeit money-making equipment were found. The investigation is currently an ongoing and open case. The Secret Service has "exclusive" jurisdiction for investigating counterfeit money, according to the department's web site. The department's authority comes directly from Title 18 of the United States Code, Section 3056.
The public is urged to "know" their money. Counterfeiters are getting more technological in their craft but cannot create the perfect money bill as direct U.S. currency.
A fake portrait on any U.S. bill for currency will look lifeless and flat. Fake Federal Reserve and Treasury seals are not sharp edged and may be broken or uneven on the saw-point tooth's. The outer lines on a fake bill may look blurry. Serial numbers on a fake bill could be varied in their colors. Genuine dollar bills have flecks of red and blue fibers.
More information on how to spot a fake U.S. bill is at the Secret Service web site. Citizens are asked to be careful about money received and exchanged and to report any suspicious activity to any police department.
