Shameless Theft at AH West

details? what house, what item? was the house open for visitors? Is the owner sure he didn't put the item up for sell? was the item inside the house or outside on aditional owned land?
Also is the owner sure his account wasn't hacked?

 

I love it ... this is going to be fun! :D

 

Is this community diligence or an in-game event?

 

would like to know more before I put it in my sig ;)

 

I figure this is an in-game event. Tho with recent scam cases slighty off with the timing yes :-)

 

I can tell you that the Media Center has caught wind of this theft, and we are preparing a brief press release that will most likely be made later in the day, so stay tuned.

I have a feeling we may need to get the Port Atlantis Police Department (PAPD) involved, and perhaps they will issue their own statement about this theft. I know for a fact that the last time the Calypso volunteer forces were involved, there was a breakout from the penal system near Port Atlantis while security was conducting readiness training exercises.

Officer Blackmore who had volunteered to assist in the training exercises actually turned out to be a rogue, and in fact was linked to the stolen weapons and other items from the Palms Corner storage facility. I believe that Officer Blackmore is safely behind bars at the Port Atlantis penal facility, but one never knows just how far-reaching a crooked network extends.

EPMC is involved, and I have our best reporters on the job, so please stay tuned for any further developments and announcements. I will also see if I can contact someone from PAPD about this incident for what they have so far.

Thank you for your patience, and please stay alert. The community has assisted in the past with apprehending criminals, so this may be another opportunity for our Calypso volunteer forces to once again become active. Oleg from Skillin' Villains led the volunteer forces in 2009, but I'm not sure who is in charge of directing the search with this most current incident.

Stay tuned, and stay safe.

 

Blackmoore? Last I heard she was still locked up and being forced to moderate some kind of text thing.

 

Prison jobs :D ... where you're at the mercy of the overLords who seem to have no name, and operate incognito ... until we find that there's something rotten in Denmark.

 

The French Canadians make great onion soup :D ... especially in cafes in Artist's Alley in Quebec City.

The question is ... does our latest criminal like onion soup? Might be easier to find if he did, eh?

 

Is the item by any chance a Rancher hat? :D

 

There have been other reports of theft lately. Perhaps the colony has a kleptomaniac on the loose.

 

First, my apologies in the delay getting back to the community on this situation. I have spent a few days trying to gather information that might be worthy of reporting.

I did contact the PAPD about this incident, and I was told that investigations have begun surrounding the theft of an item from an estate at Atlas Haven West, but they are not releasing any details at this time, other than ... evidence was recovered from the scene of the crime and sent to the laboratory for forensic examination.

EPMC will continue to investigate this crime independently of the PAPD in order to bring you any breaking news, but we are hoping that the PAPD will release their own statement to the community with any further information that will help facilitate the apprehension of this criminal.

I don't know about anyone else, but I have a distinct feeling that we are going to have to get the community involved in this if we want to see justice done. After the incident with Officer Blackmore last year, I'm not feeling real confident that the PAPD is capable of handling this current criminal act. After all, it was the community who took down Blackmore through a series of chases and final capture, so my bet right now is on the community.

If anyone has any information whatsoever that can help in the capture of this criminal, please contact a member of the Media Team with information. Now that we have an official Media Center for keeping up on the news, I want to make sure that we report any type of breaking news about this as quickly as possible.

As a matter of fact ... I will be broadcasting live on MindStarRadio Saturday, September 18th beginning at 18:00 in-world time at the launch party for EUWBC. If there is even a hint of any breaking news surrounding the Shameless Theft incident, I will definitely do a report on-air to keep the community informed.

We need to work together on this.

 

Wow it's getting more and more weird :O

Leaving for Holland now ... exciting to see what happens in the meantime!
