Police Report: February 19-21

February 19th:

4100 block of 32nd Street: At about 11 am officers took a fraud report. The victim told the officers that someone had stolen her identity and uttered over $1,000 in bad checks to various businesses during the month of December 2009. The victim notified her bank and an internal investigation was initiated.

4700 block of 27th Street: At about 3:30 pm officers took a report of a citizen robbery. The victim, a delivery person for the Golden China carryout in Hyattsville, was robbed at gunpoint by a man described as a 20 something black male wearing a red bandana over his mouth and armed with a black handgun. The man stole the victim’s cash and other personal belongings in addition to the food he was called to deliver. After taking the victim’s property the suspect fled the area on foot in an unknown direction. The victim continued on his delivery route and did not report the crime to police until he returned to the restaurant sometime later. Due to the delay in reporting the crime officers were unable to obtain any evidence as to the person responsible.
