• Cary police are investigating a case of fraud in which a Rolesville woman’s lost debit card was used at three locations — Tony’s Bourbon Street Oyster Bar and a Handee Hugo’s convenience store, both in Cary, and at Ocean Star, a seafood restaurant in Apex. The victim lost more than $200 in the illegal transactions.

• On April 3 between 9 and 11:05 p.m., someone stole a combined $1,000 worth of assorted tools from tool boxes located in the beds of two trucks parked outside the Crossroads 20 movie theater on Caitboo Avenue. Both victims said they could not remember whether the tool boxes were locked prior to the thefts.

• Police are still investigating the possible theft or embezzlement of nearly $5,400 in cash from a bag being transported by an armored truck. The bag was reportedly picked up from Foot Action in the Crossroads shopping center on March 31. The money was reported missing the following day, but an employee of the victimized business, Dunbar Armored of Durham, could not say whether the money was taken in Cary.

• Several victims were defrauded of a combined $2,000 when a man recently offered to obtain fake identification cards for them in exchange for pay. The victims reportedly met the suspect at a local doctor’s office and later met in the parking lot of McDonald’s on Walnut Street to make their payments. The suspect, described as a muscular white male about 5-foot-8 and 180 pounds with long hair and glasses, never provided the victims with the ID cards.

Victorino Modesto-Leal, 25, and Constantino Modesto-Leal, 24, both of 201 Merriwood Drive, were charged after a tipster alerted police to their presence at Reedy Creek Middle School.
