Theft investigation – The Carmel Police Dept. is searching for an individual in reference to an auto theft investigation. He was observed operating a white Dodge Ram 1500 quad cab truck. Anyone with information on the suspect or individual is asked to contact CPD Investigations Division at 317-571-2500 or Crime Stoppers of Central Indiana at 317-262-8477.

Jury duty scam – A scam involving the threat of arrest for missing jury duty is hitting central Indiana. A victim answers the telephone and the caller says a warrant is being issued for not appearing for jury duty. The caller may give the name of a courthouse employee, a deputy, or a name similar to an employee. The victim is then told to pay money to avoid arrest. These calls are fake – courts do not operate this way. Contact would be made by regular mail.
