Stolen Prairie City vehicle recovered in Redmond
Shell burglary still under investigation
Blue Mountain Eagle
A vehicle stolen in Prairie
City was recovered in De-
schutes County.
The vehicle, stolen April
12, was recovered three days
later by Redmond Police De-
partment left in the bike lane
on SW Airport Road near
Sixth Street in Redmond, ac-
cording to a John Day Police
Department press release.
The case remains open.
Police Chief Richard Gray
recommends not leaving
valuables or the keys in ve-
hicles and locking the doors.
The department is also
investigating the April 16
burglary of the West Shell
station.
Anyone with information
about either incident is en-
couraged to contact the de-
partment, 541-575-0030.
Publisher’s Clearing House scam surfaces in Grant County
Blue Mountain Eagle
John Day Police Depart-
ment is warning residents
about a fraud scheme reported
in Grant County.
People have been contact-
ed and told they won prizes
from Publisher’s Clearing
House that they can claim af-
ter paying fees, according to a
press release.
The instructions request
wire transfers or payments to
be mailed. They send checks
to be deposited into person-
al accounts, which are later
canceled, causing overdraft
charges and losses.
The calls are untraceable,
and the contact number pro-
vided is from Jamaica, which
causes long-distance charges.
The scam spans the United
States with individual losses
of thousands of dollars.
The police department en-
courages people to report any
suspicious funds sent to them.

ATTENTION:
On April 15, 2016, at 9:40 a.m., my blue/gray Ford Escape
was parked on Canyon Blvd. beside Mosier’s Furniture for
approximately 10 minutes, then moved in to the alley and
parked behind Radio Shack, remaining there for
approximately half an hour. During this time, my car
received damage to the driver’s side passenger door and
extending to the rear panel. Evidence of white paint
residue was left on the damage site. The hit and run was
reported to the John Day City Police and
an estimate of damages was obtained from
1st Choice Auto Body in the amount of $2,500 .
If anyone witnessed this hit and run, please call
Margot White at 541-792-0575 . I will accept a
reasonable explanation from the individual responsible for
this damage and am willing to work out a settlement
beneficial to both parties if I am contacted
from the date of this notice until
Sunday, May 1st, at 6 p.m.
