WCSO: June 2021 report of police activity in the Village

During the month of June there were 135 calls for service. During this time 63 traffic stops were made, resulting in 25 citations.

Noteworthy events in Manchester Village during the month include:

On June 22, Collaboration Deputies were dispatched to the 100 block of N. Washington for an aggravated assault. Two subjects fought each other, ultimately resulting in the hospitalization of both subjects and felonious assault charges being approved by the prosecutor's office.

On June 28, a Collaboration Deputy was dispatched to the 300 block of Division Street for a report of a fraud. The victim was frauded out of approximately $146,000 after a suspect possibly known to the victim was able to convince them to invest the money into what appears to be fictitious investment companies. At this time, the suspect's true identity is unknown; however, Deputies are narrowing down potential suspects for identification. This appears to be an isolated event.

Ordinance violations: Deputies investigated eight grass violations within the village, all of which were corrected after warning notifications. Deputies also sent two violation letters for vehicles; one was corrected and the second vehicle was red-tagged. A blight violation was investigated and corrected after a warning.
