- Scams targeting SDG&E customers are on the rise, the utility company announced Tuesday. Scammers posing as SDG&E representatives claim that customer accounts are delinquent, threaten to shut off power and demand payments over the phone. Customers reported roughly three times the number of utility-related scams from March to April of this year, according to the company. "It's notoriously underreported, too," SDG&E spokesperson Anthony Wagner told Patch. "People are usually embarrassed to call." (San Diego Patch)
- A man was arrested in Buena Park Monday after leading authorities on a pursuit from Chula Vista in a stolen vehicle. The vehicle passed through Oceanside and Camp Pendleton heading north on the I-5 before the CHP began pursuing the white Kia Optima just before 7:10 p.m. near La Paz Road in Mission Viejo. The chase began after a police officer discovered the vehicle was stolen and attempted to stop the Kia, which fled the scene while striking the officer's vehicle. (Orange County Patch)
