Harassing Caller Threatens to Kidnap Employee at Twelve Oaks Store

An employee of a retail store at Twelve Oaks Mall contacted police Feb. 25 after receiving harassing calls from someone identifying himself as a police officer.

According to the Novi police report, the woman told police that she filed a report on Jan. 28 about the harassing calls, but they continued. Among the latest calls was one to a loss prevention employee at the store in which the woman works, the report indicated. The caller, who identifies himself as "Officer White," asked the loss prevention employee for the woman's social security number and when the employee refused, the caller threatened to kidnap the woman. 

The report indicated the calls came from a phone number in Franklin, MS, and that similar incidents have happened to other employees at the same store.
