False Public Alarm. Plainsboro Police are investigating several 9-1-1 calls made to police stating that a man had guns on the campus of Mercy College in Dobbs Ferry, NY, on March 30. Officer Thomas Larity said the calls contained a recorded message stating that the victims were located at Mercy College. Upon obtaining a GPS location of the phone that called 9-1-1, the call was traced back to an address on Ravens Crest Drive in Plainsboro, Larity said. Larity said police responded to the address with negative results for any suspicious people or activity. Meanwhile, Dobbs Ferry Police were contacted in reference to these 9-1-1 calls and found them to be unfounded, Larity said.
Auto Theft. A resident of Pheasant Hollow Drive was the victim of auto theft between 4 p.m. on April 4 and 7:35 a.m. on April 5. Officer Thomas Larity said his Jeep was stolen from the parking lot of Building 17. The car was worth approximately $9,000.

Credit Card Fraud. Dianesa Rodriguez, 23, of Bronx, NY, was charged January 11 with receiving stolen credit cards. Detective Joseph Breyta said a Jersey City resident reported to police on January 11 that someone made unauthorized purchases in excess of $5,000 on her two credit cards in Plainsboro and surrounding jurisdictions. The victim called police again on March 25 to tell police that the suspect arranged for additional credit cards to be delivered to a Ravens Crest address in Plainsboro. Plainsboro Police set up surveillance and watched Rodriguez pose as the victim and sign for the credit cards, Breyta said. Police subsequently arrested her in the building 1 breezeway of the Quail Ridge apartment complex and found her to be in possession of five fraudulently acquired credit cards from two different victims, he said.
Prior to being arrested, Rodriguez threw the credit cards off the top of the breezeway when officers approached her, said Breyta. She resisted arrest, but police were able to arrest her, he added. She was also charged with receiving stolen credit cards, tampering with evidence, resisting arrest, obstruction, and defiant trespass and was sent to the Middlesex County jail, where she was held on $25,000 bail. A court ordered search warrant of her car found an abundance of personal information for several other victims in New Jersey and New York, Breyta said.
