Palatine police received a report about 3:03 p.m. of a Gypsy Scam/burglary in the 100 block of South Stonington Drive. The offenders were described as male/Hispanic. One of the subjects was wearing a white shirt and a black hat — possibly a Pittsburgh Pirates baseball hat, and a second subject was wearing a white shirt and a Chicago Cubs baseball hat. Both men fled in a newer model white pickup truck, last seen westbound on Stonington Drive.

I was scammed many years ago by some gypsy people that claimed to religous done many favors for them. Became close friends having dinner together. They lived in large beautiful house in the 1100 block of s. River rd in Des plains IL (edited from exact address) They go by the last names (omitted) first names are (omitted). One day on a visit they got into an dispute with an handyman that done a job for them. I got suspicious the handyman stated that he was going to the police dept for a complaint and nonpayment. I was horrified so I left never speaking to them again.I learned later that they commit crimes break into homes and con elderly people out of money.I saw some of their families on the internet they committed so many crimes. Please let get these people off the streets before they commit any more crimes. Thank You
