Area residents are being warned about scammers impersonating local law enforcement officers over the phone. That after a 91 year-old Carmel Valley woman told law enforcement officers that she received a call from a man who identified himself as a police officer who then told her that her grandson was in jail for hitting a pregnant woman with his car. Fortunately, the Carmel Valley woma n checked with her daughter and found out that her grandson was not in trouble, and that the call had been a scam. Residents are reminded that law enforcement will not call to solicit bail money, or any other funds (related to releasing people from custody).
