"Intentional Wire Cutting Causes Major Flight Delays at Sacramento Airport"

The Sacramento County Sheriff's Office confirmed the deliberate nature of the act and is working with the FBI to investigate. The outage caused significant disruptions, with some flights delayed by up to 156 minutes, and passengers were advised to contact their airlines for more information.

Beware of Gift Card Scammers: Police Crack Down on Tampered Cards and Card Draining

A man named Ningning Sun was arrested by the Sacramento County Sheriff's Office for a gift card scam involving over 50 Target stores across California. Sun was found with 200 tampered Target gift cards on his person and over 5,000 more in his car. He would place gift cards inside his jacket at Target stores and replace them with altered ones, potentially sending the money to China within seconds if used. Authorities advise shoppers to be cautious of tampering signs on gift cards and to ask for cards behind the counter instead of at kiosks.

Beware of Gift Card Scams: Protect Yourself During the Holidays

The Sacramento County Sheriff's Office has issued a warning about a sophisticated gift card scam with national and international implications. During a recent anti-retail theft operation, a Chinese national was arrested for possessing thousands of stolen Target and Apple gift cards. The suspect would remove the bar code glue, record the PINs, and then reseal the cards before returning them to store shelves. Unsuspecting shoppers would purchase the tampered cards, loading funds onto them, only for the money to be immediately transferred to an offshore account, likely in China. The sheriff's office is urging caution when purchasing physical gift cards and asking the public for any tips related to the case.
