Authorities are alerting the public to a recently reported scam targeting vehicle owners. Over the past few days, several people have contacted police after finding handwritten messages placed on their car windshields.

The notes encourage recipients to download a specific mobile app, claiming it will provide updates about crime in their neighborhood. According to police, this is a deceptive tactic designed to trick individuals into sharing personal information or sending money.

Officials are advising residents to stay alert and avoid interacting with unfamiliar instructions or downloading unverified applications. Anyone who encounters similar situations is encouraged to report it to their nearest police station or call the Citizen Communication Line at 1460.
