Police log for November 6–12, 2020

Fraudulent unemployment claims were filed this week in the names of residents on Todd Pond Road, Birchwood Lane, Tower Road, Chestnut Circle, Sandy Pond Road, and Beaver Pond Road. because of the volume, the Lincoln Squirrel will no longer include these calls in the police log.

All of these claims are due to nationwide data breaches, and federal law enforcement agencies are investigating, according to Lincoln police. If you’re notified about a fraudulent claim of this type, go to www.mass.gov/info-details/report-unemployment-benefits-fraud to file a report online. The state will then send you a packet in the mail. If you receive a packet even if you didn’t file a claim, don’t ignore it. Police also recommend that you check your credit report to see if any new accounts are being opened in your name.
