This week when you stop by the market you can do more than shop; you can help save lives. There will be an MD Anderson blood drive for those who wish to donate for Kat Carlson of Swede Farm Dairy this coming Saturday, October 10. This will be at the same location as the Memorial Villages Farmers Market, so you can donate blood, then relax in the park under the trees before doing your weekly shopping.

You may also donate in the name of other patients at MDA by providing the patient's name. Make appointments at this link as it helps them know how many to be prepared for. https://tinyurl.com/4ys76hwk

From the Desk of Chief Ray Schultz,

We have started to see a new trend beginning to occur where criminals are directly accessing money market and savings accounts and initiating ACH transfers of funds to other accounts. The thieves are having the victim’s contact information changed, i.e., cellphone numbers/email addresses so that the criminal can authorize the transfer of the funds. In some cases, they are also changing the account status from hard copy statements to electronic statements to help conceal their crimes. They are linking a new account to the victims account which can be signaled by having one or two small transfers of funds occur to verify the accounts are being linked. (These amounts are usually less than $1.00). So far, the activity that we have seen has occurred with Bank of America accounts, but we are concerned that the financial institutions being affected will grow. It is important that you monitor your bank accounts closely, especially larger savings accounts as those are the ones that are being targeted. Any status change to your accounts should quickly be addressed. Accounts should be monitored for any small transfer amounts being posted. Again, any unauthorized activity needs to be brought to the attention of your bank immediately.

This past week we also saw a return of some “Distraction Burglars” to the villages. Distraction burglars are criminals who get your attention and have you drop your guard. In this case, they convinced a resident to take them to his backyard to discuss a tree. Once they had him preoccupied, an accomplice entered his home and burglarized the house taking items from a home office. We are looking for this particular group who were described as being of Bangladeshi decent. Please do not fall for this scam. Do not accept unsolicited business and never allow unauthorized strangers to enter your home. If you do allow someone onto your property. Secure your home by locking doors and gates. These crews are very professional at quickly sneaking into your home and taking anything they can find of value.

Thank you to all of the neighborhood groups who organized National Night Out gatherings this past Tuesday. Our teams began joining groups as early as 5:30 pm when the first neighbors began to organize and we continued until almost 9 pm when the last groups wound down. We think we made it to every neighborhood that we knew about and even found a couple of impromptu groups of neighbors sharing fellowship, stories and making new friends. I had the opportunity to make it to 3 events and enjoyed some great venison at 2 of the parties. We were joined by the Village Fire Department and city officials and can hardly wait for next year’s National Night Out activities (and the tasty food).

Detectives Corner: This week detectives continue to work on several cases involving stolen SBISD checks. 4 cases have been linked to specific suspects. Detectives have been meeting with staff from the District Attorney’s Office and presenting the facts of the case to include results from subpoena’s to show the transfer of funds/monies to accounts controlled by the suspects. In one of our other Fraud cases, MVPD detectives are working closely with detectives from the New York and New jersey Financial Crimes Center on our case. Recent subpoena’s show our suspects speaking with each other while electronic financial transactions were occurring between their accounts. Additional video surveillance footage located specific tattoos on our suspect (bank video surveillance footage). Detectives are now working with the probation officer for our primary suspect in identifying the suspects unique tattoos to show his involvement in the fraud case. Recently subpoenaed FedEx records also collaborate the mailing of bank documents to our suspect’s homes. In one of our recent auto burglary cases from Hunters Creek, detectives have been able to link our suspect to additional crimes in the City of Houston. Our investigation has now expanded and includes additional crimes committed by our suspect’s. Detectives issued a BOLO for a RED 4-door Nissan with Texas Plate TZT7874 after identifying the vehicle as being involved in an auto burglary on Warrenton Road.

Preparations have started for the 2026 MVPD Trunk or Treat and Haunted House. Decorations have been going up outside of the MVPD including a number of skeletons crawling on the building. The display looks pretty cool especially after dark. The Haunted House is scheduled for October 30th, 2026, here at the station. Once again, we will be joined by Memorial High School National Honor Society students who will host vehicles for Trunk or Treating and who will serve as actors inside the Haunted House. This year the MVPF will be providing free hot dogs while they last. There will also be a “Pumpkin Fun Zone” for our littlest visitors where they can decorate their very own pumpkin. The MVPD Haunted House has become a premiere Memorial Villages Halloween Event. Plan now to join us for an evening of safe fun.

Have a great weekend. Chief Ray Schultz [email protected]

From the Desk of Chief Ray Schultz,

This past week we had another successful arrest complement of the Flock ALPR system. A week ago, we received reports of two contractor’s vehicles being broken into while working at area homes. Officers and detectives were able to utilize a homeowners’ security video surveillance footage to detect the exact time of the crimes and a basic description of the suspect’s vehicle. A review of nearby ALPR cameras identified the license plate that was added to our hotlist database. 8 days later the suspects returned to the villages intending on continuing their crime spree. As soon as these two miscreants drove into the villages our officers were notified and responded to the area of Taylorcrest and Flintdale. Within minutes they located the vehicle which was displaying an expired license plate. (Obviously not the brightest criminals, casing a neighborhood while driving a car with expired license plates. They should have just put a sign on their car saying, “Stop Us!”) Upon stopping the car officers located a pair of bolt cutters, ma*****na, and open containers of alcohol. The 20-year-old male driver was found to have outstanding warrants for his arrest, while the 18-year-old female was drinking while in the car. Both suspects were taken into custody and transferred over to detectives. Both suspects were later booked into jail and their vehicle was towed. Search warrants are being prepared for their cellphones as we are certain these two suspects are responsible for dozens of additional thefts from across the area.

This week our officers have been spending a significant amount of time monitoring traffic along Piney Point, Blalock, and Knipp due to complaints of drivers running through the intersections without stopping. We have been initiating enforcement and find that a majority of the offenders are residents. We have been giving plenty of warnings about our enforcement strategies so this should not be a surprise. Our efforts will continue, so please always come to a complete stop, obey speed limits, and traffic signals. Note: While conducting traffic enforcement one of our police units was stuck by an inattentive driver. Please drive carefully as running into a police car is never a good thing to do.

On Saturday October 24, 2026, the Villages will be hosting their Annual Recycling Event. The event will include a Donation Drive where gently used clothing, toys, etc. will be accepted. Document shredding, electronic recycling, and Rx Disposal for old medications. The cities will also be giving away free trees to village residents to help keep our beautiful tree canopy strong and growing. Read more about this annual event on the attached flyer.

Detectives Corner: This week detectives were able to arrest 2 suspects involved in the theft of a Motor Vehicle on August 22, 2026. Case work included working in collaboration with multiple other agencies from across the area. In one of our on-going fraud investigations, our detectives tracked funds to New Jersey. They were able to identify 2 banks where funds were withdrawn. Subpoenas were issued for video surveillance for both locations. In a different case, detectives were able to recover $2000 for a victim in cryptocurrency case. Great work CID.

This morning, I had the opportunity to attend a meeting at Hunters Creek Elementary School with Mayor Pappas, the city manager, school principal, and concerned parents. The issue is one that has been problematic (off and on) for almost 60 years. The primary concern is for the safety of children who walk and bike to and from school and who travel along Storywood Drive. Due to the fact there are no sidewalks along Storywood, cyclists/walkers must travel in the street. During school pick-up and drop-off times the area becomes extremely congested with other parents who are driving their children to school and not utilizing the parent drop-off drive. They are either parking along Storywood and walking their children from there, having their children exit the car while in traffic, or waiting there to pick their children up after school. Add in regular increased rush hour traffic, landscapers, delivery drivers and high school students, traffic can get pretty hectic. We identified a series of options to help improve safety and those will begin immediately with more changes coming. In the meantime, it is incumbent on everyone to be extra careful and attentive. The ultimate responsibility for safety is that of motorists driving in the area during school zone hours. Slow down, keep your head on a swivel and expect the unexpected.

Next Tuesday is National Night Out 2026. Plan now to spend some time with your neighbors, anytime during the evening hours. Say Hi, exchange contact information and talk community safety. Anyone wanting to have an officer stop by is asked to email Officer Larry Boggus at [email protected] and he will get your event on our schedule.

October is here, so that means the MVPD Halloween event is quickly approaching. The MVPD has once again partnered up with the Memorial High School National Honor Society and are planning our Halloween celebration and Haunted House. There will be a humongous Trunk or Treat area, pumpkin patch for the little ones, games, and food. The event will be held on Friday, October 30th, 2026, here at the station. Stay tuned for additional announcements and details. After that, it is the Twinkle Light Parade and then, the Annual Spring “Birdies Fore Blues” Golf tournament.

Attention area residents. On October 9, 2026, St Francis Episcopal School, will be hosting a full-scale active shooter training exercise at their South Campus located at 2300 S. Piney Point Road, from 0900 to 1100 hours. Multiple agencies (both police and fire), helicopters and dozens of officers will be participating. Please expect a large law enforcement presence in the area with traffic disruptions. This is a great opportunity for first responders to work together to ensure the safety of our community and especially our children.

This morning Officers Boggus and Owens visited the Yellow School House in Bunker Hill for a safety talk with children. Everyone had a great time making new friends. Photo attached.

Drone deliveries come to the Villages. A delivery service (Wing) has started delivering items from nearby Walmart’s to village area homes. We have seen a couple of these deliveries occurring over the past week and are trying to learn more about the operations and how we can ensure that there are no conflicts with our law enforcement drone flights/missions. We are working on organizing a demonstration of the new Wing delivery service and information session at an upcoming Farmer Market. In the meantime, if you see a drone drop a package in your neighbor’s driveway at 9pm, it is not a bomb or another nefarious item, it’s probably just a bottle of Kao pectate.

Have a great weekend. -Chief Ray Schultz
