2:15 p.m. South Gunflint Lake: Fraud/Scam/ID theft
attempt. Caller reported that she had received a phone call
from a 388 number declaring that her credit card was going
to be charged $400 for an Amazon purchase. She believed it
was a scam and hung up. She also has gotten the “Grandma,
I need help…” scam calls in the past. She is getting nervous
and almost afraid to answer her phone. She wondered if
anything could be done about these calls. Dispatch gave her
the number for reporting the calls to the state and suggested
she contact her phone provider to see if they have any fraud
call reduction programs.
4:22 p.m. Grand Marais: East Highway 61, Property lost/
found. A bunch of personal property was sitting out in front
of some storage units. Items included driftwood, agates, and
personal financial papers. A person passing by had brought
the papers to the Law Enforcement Center (LEC). Investigation revealed that a whole unit, possibly two units, had been
emptied so that items were all outside of the storage units.
Some things were covered with a tarp and some things were
not covered. The owner was contacted and he stated that he
was aware of the risk of his stuff being outside, but that he
was trying to sort out an important transaction.
Thursday, November 25
11:50 a.m. Mink Lake Road: Welfare Check requested. Caller reported that two adults and a golden retriever dog were
out on the ice on Mink Lake. Caller was concerned that the
thin ice would not hold them. Investigation determined that
the ice was thick enough.
Friday, November 26
8:58 a.m. Public Assistance. Caller asked if it was legal to
put down your own dog by shooting them or other means.
Caller stated that unprovoked, the dog had bitten many
family members and other people too, including herself
many times. Caller wanted to know their options. Caller
was advised that they could shoot the dog, but a better
option would be to contact a local vet and have the animal
euthanized. It was also suggested that reaching out to the
local vets might open the door to someone possibly taking
in the dog and correcting the dog’s behavior.
1:44 p.m. Onion River Road: Property lost/found. A person
walked into the LEC lobby to report that one of his drivers
had found a camera on the side of the road. No camera had
been reported missing. If you think it might be your camera, call 218-387-3030 (the non-emergency LEC number).
Monday, November 29
9:02 a.m. Camp 20 Road: Neighbor Trouble. Caller wanted
to file a complaint on his neighbor. His neighbor had been
on his property cutting trees down; she cut a four-wheeler trail into the north side of his property. And she also
cut down about 60 feet of his fence. Caller stated that his
brother had talked to the woman and she insists that it is
her property. Investigation determined that the woman had
had the property surveyed. According to the survey, part of
the fence was on her property. Parties were advised that this
is a Civil Matter and that county officers would rely on the
surveyed property line for enforcement purposes.
12:56 p.m. Devil Track Lake: Romans Road, Public Assistance. Person stopped by the LEC to report that there was
a floating dock on Devil Track Lake that is now frozen into
the lake and has become a hazard for snowmobiles that
travel on the lake. Since it is a hazard, the dock will have to
be cut out of the ice and removed. In the meantime, a snow
fence with reflectors will surround and mark where the
dock is located.
