Napa Police on Tuesday warned local tenants about what it called a string of thefts of rent checks from apartment complexes around the city.
Support local news coverage and the people who report it by subscribing to the Napa Valley Register.
“It appears the suspect(s) are ‘fishing’ the rent checks out of the apartment complex drop boxes,” the department said in a statement.
People living in apartments are advised to hand-deliver their rent checks when possible, or make other arrangements other than using a drop box. Those seeing a suspicious person near a drop box are asked to notify their apartment manager or Napa Police.
Victims of rent check theft can file a police report online at cityofnapa.org/497/Filing-an-Online.Report
To share information or video footage of a suspect, contact Napa Police Detective Romero at 707-257-9509.
It’s a good idea to scan the area around ATMs before you use them. Be aware of anyone standing close by and always check the machine to see if it’s been tampered with before you use it.
