Scam artists continue to approach residents with sob story

A message from Officer J.P. Ingram of the Bryan Police Department:

The Bryan Police Department recently sent out a press release about an email warning people about a female going door to door asking for money. Since sending out the press release the people involved started to approach residents again.

This time the scam works this way: A female approaches a residence and says that her daughter has a medical emergency at a Houston hospital. She advises that she needs $40.00 for gas and that she will pay the person back.

This previous incident, and the one mentioned in the email, occurred on November 19, but has recently occurred on November 29th at approximately 0800 hours and on November 30th at 1700 hours.

During the incident that occurred on November 30th the female asking for money got into a white 1995 Chevy Blazer with Texas License Plate 8CK-W06. The vehicle was previously contacted and the driver was identified as Shane Cave Young, W/M, DOB 09/26/1972. It is still believed that Shane Cave Young, W/M, DOB 09/26/1972, Jennie Alice Strobel, W/F, DOB 07/12/1969, and Stacy Rene Dawson, W/F, DOB 03/06/1968 are involved in this scam.

The Bryan Police Department is requesting that residents keep their doors closed to strangers. If you are approached with this scam, please contact the Bryan Police Department at 361-3888 or your local law enforcement agency immediately. Please provide a description of the person, the person's clothing, and a vehicle description. This information will be used to file charges onthose responsible for the scams.
