Scam Alert from Harris County / Constable Mark Herman

SCAM ALERT — A fake court document is circulating that looks very official — it includes case numbers, court dates, and even a QR code demanding immediate payment for traffic violations. Do not fall for it. Precinct 4 Constables will never demand payment through a QR code, threaten you with arrest over the phone, or pressure you to pay immediately. If you or someone you know receives something like this — do NOT pay, do NOT scan the QR code, and please report it right away. Stay safe, and please share so your neighbors know.

*** ALERT NOTICE ***

The following was reported to us by the homeowner:

This past Friday night/Saturday morning some time around 4:00 am – 4:30 am a home on Bellington Ct was broken into by a single male. The homeowner was home at the time and was unharmed. The intruder/burglar left when the homeowner found him in their study. This incident was reported to the police that same night.

Per that same homeowner, after speaking with other neighbors, the homeowner reported that at a least two more homes had attempted break-ins either car or home that same night around 3:00 am ish along S. Strathford Ln.

If you experienced an issue around that time, please inform the Houston Police / Kingwood Office. In addition, please check your security cameras and/or ring systems for that date, Saturday, December 16, and around that time to see if they have anything to share with the Houston Police/Kingwood Office.
