Police Report (continued from page 18) On Nov. 18, a Midland Park resident reported to Officer Tillson that he was a victim of a fraud. He reported a male caller, who identified himself as a bail bondsman, stated his nephew was arrested in Bridgeport, Connecticut, and he sent a Western Union money transfer in the amount of $1,046 as instructed. He received a second call from the same male, and he sent an additional Money Gram in the amount of $974. The victim made contact with his nephew who told him he wasn’t arrested, nor had he been in Con- necticut. The incident was referred to the detective bureau. On Nov. 19, Officer Thomas Bedoe took a report from a Midland Park resident who reported the theft of her cell phone. She stated an Apple Iphone, valued at $540, which she recently ordered was delivered to her home. When she returned home the package was not there. The matter was referred to the detective bureau. At approximately 11:30 p.m. on Nov. 25, Officer Chris- topher Birch observed a vehicle operating in an erratic manner. The vehicle in question drove past patrol, and the rear seat passenger threw cigarette ashes out the window. At this point, Officer Birch conducted a motor vehicle stop, and in speaking with the four passengers, he observed the rear male passenger shifting around in the vehicle. Sub- sequently, the 18-year-old Harriman, New York resident advised patrol he had a glass smoking pipe with burnt marijuana inside his pocket. The man was transported to headquarters for processing, where he was charged with possession of a controlled dangerous substance and pos- session of drug paraphernalia. He was released with a date to appear in the Midland Park Municipal Court. Sergeant Noah Van Vliet and Officer Tillson assisted in the investi- gation.
