As a result, Cynthia Hale contacted the Sparks Police Department to report that she was approached by a young male who offered to repair a dent in her car in the parking lot of Big Lots. She reported that he did not have a business card or other legitimate documentation of his business. She refused his service and reported her suspicion that the subject was attempting to obtain money from her fraudulently as a result of the previous media alert to this activity.
Officers learned that a group of three individuals had traveled from the Sacramento area to attend the Street Vibrations events. Officers found items in the suspect’s vehicles that were indicative of other illegal activity and will require additional investigation. All three were arrested and booked for soliciting without a permit, engaging in business without a business license:
Docha Lee, 29, of Albequerque, N.M. — also booked for contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
Steve Monday, 28, of Sacramento — also booked for contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
A 16-year-old male juvenile from Yuma, Ariz.
It is suspected that others have been victimized by this group who has admitted to belonging to a family of gypsies that travel from city to city to work. The suspects were driving two vehicles without license plates. They are described as a 2008 Black Chevrolet Silverado pickup and a 2005 Silver GMC Yukon.
The Sparks Police Department is asking anyone who has had contact with the suspects to call Detective Scott Tracy at 353-2225.
