Elgin
Tree, fence burned: The trunk of a dead tree and a 6-foot section of fence were found burning at about noon Wednesday in the first block of Woodview Drive on Elgin’s far east side. Police said they would speak to the managers of a nearby apartment complex about increasing their supervision of children who live there, who are suspected of having set the fire.
‘Green dot’ fraud attempt: An Elgin woman told police Wednesday that her mother received a phone call from a man who urged her to take $300 to an east-side Elgin drugstore, put it in a “green dot” envelope and turn it over to someone.
