    PHONE SCAM - THEFT BY FALSE PRETENSES

    By: Cpl. J. Hixson, VPD
    Posted: 05/01/12

    On 4/4/12 at 1500 hours, Ventura Police Officers responded to the report of an elderly resident that had been victimized by unknown suspects using a phone scam tactic. According to the victim, she received a phone call at her residence from an unknown male who claimed to be a police officer and told the victim her grandson had been arrested for drug charges. The caller identified the victim's grandson by name and used a second suspect to impersonate the victim's grandson in a plea for help. Both suspects claimed the victim needed to send over $2000 in cash to secure the release of the victim's grandson from jail.

    The victim feared for the safety of her grandson and gathered the funds together then sent cash via Western Union to an address in Lima, Peru. The victim became suspicious when the suspect called the next day and requested more money. After speaking to her true grandson and discovering he had not been arrested and did not need money for bail, the victim realized she had been scammed and called the police.

    The Ventura Police Department would like to remind all residents that these types of phone scams are common and very difficult to investigate when money is sent overseas. Be wary of callers asking for cash donations or fund-raising attempts that involve sending or receiving money from overseas callers. Before sending cash anywhere ask a trusted friend or family member to look at the proposal and if you think a scam may be taking place call your Police Department.

    UNLAWFUL DISCHARGE OF A FIREARM - SWAT DEPLOYMENT

    By: Det. Sgt. Rick Murray, VPD
    Posted: 05/01/012

    On 04/08/12 at about 1540 hours, the Ventura Police Department responded to a call of shots fired with a female screaming in the 7900 block of Stone Street. Responding officers arrived on scene to investigate when additional shots were fired.

    Officers attempted to make contact with Rorke inside of the residence but were unsuccessful. Due to the increased danger to officers and the surrounding community the Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) team was deployed to the scene. Several nearby residences were evacuated due to the dangerous situation.

    Officers from the SWAT team attempted to negotiate with Rorke for several hours. Those negotiations failed and subsequently tear gas was deployed into the residence. Once the tear gas was introduced, negotiations were attempted again but to no avail.

    After negotiations and tear gas failed to have the suspect exit her residence, the SWAT team made entry and took Rorke into custody after a brief struggle.

    Rorke was taken to the Ventura County Medical Center and treated and release for tear gas inhalation. She was then booked into Ventura County Jail for discharging a firearm in a grossly negligent manner. She is being held on $50,000 bail.
