Cremorne

A Cremorne man has been scammed out of over $13,000 after receiving an email from someone purporting to be Macafee. The man received the email in late August stating he owed more money on his account, which he queried by calling a phone number in the email. The man was told over the phone that his account would need to be cleansed and was asked to provide some code numbers that were sent to him by SMS. The man later noticed three separate withdrawals had occurred from his credit card and cheque account.

St Leonards

Just before midnight on Saturday 4 September Police stopped a vehicle in Christie Street after reports that the driver had been screaming and yelling before driving off. The driver, a 34-year-old Eastgardens woman, failed a roadside breath test and was arrested and taken to Chatswood Police Station. A further breath analysis produced a result of 0.14. The woman was charged with Mid-Range Prescribed Concentration of Alcohol and Not comply with a noticed direction and is due to appear at Manly Court on 4 November.
