$5,800 Stolen from Hinsdale Resident's Accounts: Police Blotter

FRIDAY, OCT. 12

Identity Theft Costs Resident

A resident from the 10 block of Camberley Court reported that $5,832.49 worth of fraudulent transactions were performed using the resident’s credit card account and her bank account between Sept. 5 and Oct. 12.

The four transactions were not identified as fraudulent before they occurred, police said, so the money loss is real. Police do not know if the resident has been reimbursed by the bank or credit card company.

There are no suspects and police do not have enough information at this time to determine if the same person is behind the fraudulent use of both accounts.

Car Burglarized, Purse Snatched

A female victim reported that someone broke into her car and stole her purse while the car was parked in the Hinsdale Middle School parking lot, 100 S. Garfield Ave., between 12:10 p.m. and 2:53 p.m.

The car was unoccupied at the time of the burglary, police said, and the burglar smashed a window to gain entry. A total dollar loss was unavailable when the report was made.
