On the way to Canton , driving on Michigan Avenue , on Thursday
morning, I saw an infant car seat on the side of the road with a
blanket draped over it. I did not stop, even though I had all kinds of
thoughts running through my head. But when I got to my destination, I
called the Canton PD and they were going to check it out. This is what
I was told...
"Several things to be aware of .. gangs and thieves, are now plotting
different ways to get a person to "stop" their vehicle.
"There is a gang initiation reported by the local police department
that gangs are placing a car seat by the road...with a fake baby in
it...waiting for a woman, of course, to stop and check on the baby.
Note that the location of this car seat will usually be beside a
wooded or grassy (field) area ...and the person - woman - will be
dragged into the woods- beaten and raped- usually left for dead. DO
NOT STOP . DIAL 9-1-1 AND REPORT WHAT YOU SAW.
"IF YOU ARE DRIVING AT NIGHT AND EGGS ARE THROWN AT YOUR WINDSHIELD. DO
NOT OPERATE THE WIPER AND DO NOT SPRAY ANY WATER BECAUSE EGGS MIXED
WITH WATER BECOME MILKY AND BLOCK YOUR VISION UP TO 92.5% YOU ARE THEN
FORCED TO STOP BESIDE THE ROAD AND BECOME A VICTIM OF THIEVES. THIS IS
A NEW TECHNIQUE USED BY GANGS. PLEASE INFORM YOUR FRIENDS AND
RELATIVES. THESE ARE DESPERATE TIMES AND THESE UNSAVORY INDIVIDUALS
WILL TAKE DESPERATE MEASURES TO GET WHAT THEY WANT."
Please talk to your loved ones about this. This is a new tactic used
and I would hate for anyone to fall victim to this kind of crime.
Please be safe
