Fraud
Shortly after 1 p.m., a resident of Newtown Township called police to report that she had received an email indicating her social security number had been used to apply for college funding. The woman said that she never applied for any college funds or support. The officer advised her to contact the social security office as well as the credit bureaus to put a fraud alert on her personal information.
