The Observation Deck

The Lakewood Police Department is investigating a scam that has been occurring over the past several months. A black male in his 30's was walking neighborhoods with a younger black female, approximately 10yrs old. They were representing themselves as selling items to benefit chairities or the young female. One claim was trying to raise money to send his daughter to camp. They had fliers from reputable firms, such as Malleys Candies, MarketDay, or Zepa snacks. They were taking orders for products and recieving payment from victim in either cash or checks. The victims never recieved the products they thought they were ordereing and the money never made it to any chairity. It is believed the suspects victimized homeowners in several communities. Most of the thefts were between ten and fifty dollars.

Investigation by the Lakewood Police Department resulted in the arrest of the two adults. Aaron Walcott, 48yrs old and Angela McDowell 47yrs old were arrested and charged with Felony Theft. The 10yr old daughter was turned over to relatives by Cuyahoga County Childrens Services. The couple had been staying in a Pearl Road Motel.

If any person feels they might be victims contact Detective Elmer Walling at 216-529-6766.

People have a right to know!

Which is why, of course, the county has that info on its web site.

This was sent to us by the police that wanted to find more people that had been ripped off by them as they build their case.

Again if you think you have been part of the scheme, call the police.
