WEST BLOOMFIELD An increase in frauds perpetrated against township residents has gotten the attention of the West Bloomfield Police Department.
“There’s been a significant increase in both the volume and the variety of frauds that we’ve seen over the last, probably, year and a half,” Deputy Chief Curt Lawson said. “This has resulted in the loss of tens of thousands of dollars to our residents.”
Lawson said there were 475 fraud reports in 2020, and there have been 75 so far by the middle of March this year.
