JCCPD warns residents of fake animal control letters
JAMES CITY CO., Va. (WAVY) – James City County Police Department (JCCPD ) warned residents on Monday that suspicious letters were being sent out claiming to be official notices from James City County via a Facebook post.
The letters claim to be from Animal Control and Codes of Compliance, warning residents of a rat infestation. The letters go on to encourage residents to hire pest control services and take additional measures or remedies will be enforced under the VRTLA and other applicable laws.
JCCPD says there is no known scam attached to the letter, but may be intended to scare residents and benefit solicitors who come through neighborhoods.
Police say any real concerns of rat infestations should go through the Virginia Department of Health.
