Hit by debit card fraud?

The Woodstock Police Department issued a press release dated September 17 about the debit card fraud sweeping the area. The release was posted on the PD's website, which guarantees that almost no one will see it.

It must have gone to the media, but I don't recall reading in the newspaper that the PD wanted victims to report to the PD.

You can read it here: http://woodstockil.gov/vertical/Sites/%7B7B45EC48-D164-43E3-ACA3-4CC6ED948AFB%7D/uploads/%7BAEF4EBCB-243A-49F4-9019-324652D49DDA%7D.PDF

The press release contains a request that victims "contact the police department in which (sic) they reside" and not the police department where the financial institution is located. Obviously, it means that victims should contact the police department "in whose jurisdiction" they reside.
