New Citizen Alert from the Port Orange Police Dept: The Port Orange Police Department would like to inform our citizens about an individual posing as a legitimate real estate lady and going into residences and stealing property as she views the residence. The criminal is going to residences with real estate signs in the yard and says she is a real estate agent.  She then gives a business card belonging to a true real estate agent. She says she wants to walk through the residence because she wants to know about the house so she can show it later. When she gets the owner distracted, she then steals money, prescriptions, or other items from the residence. This individual is described as a white female, in her early 50s with shoulder length dirty blonde hair, glasses and heavy set. She was described as driving an older model small white vehicle that had front end damage and covered with rust.  Anyone with information about this individual should contact Detective Sgt. Wayne Do

SHIP agents are increasingly faced with attempts to obtain delivery of cargo using forged emails, according to the International Transport Intermediaries Club (ITIC). "Fraud in shipping is endemic, cargoes are valuable, and it has never been easier to forge documents, electronic communications, bills of lading, etc,” the ITIC notes in a statement. “Carriers and their agents must continuously be aware of this fact and take whatever steps are necessary to avoid becoming unnecessarily involved in costly claims for damages which have resulted from a failure to be careful and vigilant.” A major factor leading to claims by principals against their agents is the misrelease of valuable cargo, ITIC says. Carelessness in dealing with telex release — the release of cargo at one port when the bill of lading is surrendered at another (and is almost always done by email) —has contributed to these losses. ITIC notes two problems with telex release: they are often worded in a careless manner
