Will County Sheriff puts out Zoom courtroom scam warning
The Will County Sheriff’s Department is warning residents about a Zoom scam affecting courts in the county.
Scammers are logging into courtroom Zoom sessions and using the private chat feature to imply to a defendant that in exchange for money, they can have their case dismissed or resolved. The scammer often asks for their phone number, saying a court officer or attorney will reach out.
The scammer then follows up with a phone call asking for $375 to start, then, once paid, requests more money.
If this happens, the sheriff’s department recommends ending the Zoom session, contacting the Will County Clerk’s Office, and reporting the incident to a local police department.
Heinen’s receives extension on liquor license for patio drinks
The Naperville location of Heinen’s Grocery Store has been given the authority by city officials to serve and sell draft beer and self-service wine in a contiguous outdoor patio area that is directly connected to the store, 1244 E. Chicago Ave.
Last year, Heinen’s was granted what was described as a boutique market liquor license within the store premises. The extension applies to the outdoor seating area as well, though there are a number of requirements, including video monitoring and a certified employee supervising the area at all times.
On March 3, city council approved an amendment to the ordinance that previously allowed Heinen’s to serve alcohol on premises. The council’s vote came on the heels of a favorable recommendation from the Liquor Commission.
