An Indian scammer operating out of Apex has been implicated in a conspiracy which stole thousands of dollars from an elderly American, according to the Lee County Sheriff's Office

The scammers reportedly posed as Microsoft representatives, telling the victim their computer was locked and demanding cash (in person) to unlock it

The LCSO says that they were contacted by a victim's bank as well as concerned family members after a group of scammers attempted to extract more money from a previously defrauded victim

When Avinash Chandreshbai Patel, 19, showed up to collect, he was arrested and charged with attempting to obtain property by false pretenses and felony conspiracy

According to the charging documents, Patel is alleged to have been "presented as a IRS agent by a third party in order to obtain $25,000.00 USD from the victim"

The documents also include the name of one alleged co-conspirator (apparently also of Indian origin), Rushan Gohil, who does not appear to have been charged

Patel has been released on a $75,000 bond; the LCSO says the investigation is ongoing and further charges are pending

Have you seen the yard on NC 96 between Youngsville and Zebulon with disjointed hand-painted words on a boat, large boards, and even the roadway?

Last week, the resident Travis Eugene Hodges, 59, was charged by the Wake County Sheriff's Office with pointing a shotgun at and threatening to kill five separate individuals, one of whom he also allegedly threatened with "burn[ing] his house down"

It's not exactly clear from the court documents how the events transpired, but Hodges was cited on July 25 with possession of drug paraphernalia after a deputy discovered a ma*****na pipe while frisking him (it's not clear why he was being detained)

July 24, the day before the court date on his citation, is when the incidents described in the later arrest warrants were charged

Hodges is charged with five counts each of communicating threats and assault by pointing a gun at five individuals (the relation between Hodges and the victims is unspecified)

He is also charged with resisting a public officer for "running inside" after a deputy investigating the assaults ordered him to walk towards the deputy, and with possession of a firearm by a felon (Hodges' criminal record includes a 2007 Wake Co. conviction for breaking and entering)

The warrants for the July 24 incident(s) were carried out three days later, on July 27, and Hodges was released on a total secured bond of $32,500
