Metro Police believe Nashville bank ATMs have been targeted by an organized skimming operation.
So far, 39 people have reported that their ATM cards have been compromised, but investigators said Wednesday that they believe there may be hundreds of victims across the city and most of them may not even realize their information has been stolen.
"Go online and check your accounts," warned Metro Police Lt. Mickey Garner, supervisor of the department's fraud unit. "See if there are any charges on there. Don't wait until your paper statements come in. Most banks only give customers a 60-day window to dispute charges."
Police say the suspects, described as three white men with European accents, may have left town. They are believed to be traveling from city to city in groups, staying for two or three days before moving on.
Metro Police have contacted agencies in Florida, Georgia and North Carolina that reported similar fraud operations, Garner said.
In Nashville, the suspects were able to steal nearly $30,000 by installing skimmer devices on bank ATM machines. When a customer places his or her card into the machine, the skimmer records the card number and the personal identification number.
The suspects take the data and clone duplicate cards with it. They then take the cloned cards and go to another bank to withdraw funds or to stores to make purchases, police said.
Investigators are obtaining surveillance video from the compromised ATM machines from a U.S. Bank, Fifth Third Bank and Bank of America. Police said they did not recover skimmers from the machines, which were located in the Church Street, Belle Meade and Antioch areas of town.
"We don't know how many other banks they hit," he said. "The important thing is for people to check their bank accounts and look closely at ATM machines before using them. If the machine doesn't look right, don't put your card in it."
Anyone with information may contact fraud detectives at 862-7594 or Crime Stoppers at 74-CRIME.

Crime Update 10/20/209
Last night about 8:30 P.M. there were 3-4 gunshots that had gone off in this area. I was sitting in the garage and it sounded like they were outside my door.
I called the police last night... along with 3 other people. I called the police this morning and she really had no information to give.
SHE DID STRESS THAT IF YOU HEAR GUNSHOTS WE SHOULD BE CALLING "911". Do not assume they might be fire works, let the police find out. We are never going to get enough police around the area until people start calling in these type things.
Do not be afraid....just MAKE THE CALL!!!!!

October Minutes From Board Meeting 10-15-2009
President, Bob Wolfgang called the meeting to order with Gary Gentry, Gary Petersen, Fran Oroson and Jim Curley in attendance.
Minutes of the September meeting were approved,
Financials were approved. The final invoice for the outside repair completed on Unit 110 will show up on the financials for the period ending October 30, 2009. Jim Curley Properties (JCP) is currently getting estimates for the inside repair and painting of Unit 110. The Board will be meeting with JCP, the contractor and the homeowner next week. The Delinquent List has the same names on it; letters have been sent to either the homeowner or the attorney for further action.
JCP will be mailing the 2010 Budget to the Board Members. After the Board has reviewed and made any changes, a copy will be sent to all homeowners prior to the Annual Meeting scheduled for January 21, 2010, for approval.
The Board has not been unsuccessful in appointing a new member to the Board. We will continue to search for someone to fill the vacant position.
No trespassing signs will be installed at the three entrances to The Greens. It is hoped this will keep unwanted individuals from entering our community.
The renters in Unit 171 have moved and this should eliminate so much of the police activity we have been experiencing in our community. We are still trying the reach the homeowner.
There are a number of units that have stained brick due to rain runoff from the downspouts, Gary Gentry made the motion that where needed the brick be power washed. Gary Petersen seconded the motion and it passed.
Parking in the Visitor Spaces has become a serious problem. Gary Petersen made the motion that 12 of the 22 Visitor Spaces be rented for $50 per month with a year’s lease, if a month-to-month lease is signed the fee will be $75 per month. Spaces will be rented to the first 12 homeowners who contact Jim Curley Properties. Units leasing spaces can only lease one space. Gary Gentry seconded the motion and it passed. JCP will be mailing a notice to all homeowners regarding this subject. Rented spaces will be designated with a “Reserved” sign and the unit number. Towing will start for cars illegally parked in the Visitor Spaces and on the street.
Garbage cans left on the street and in front of units continue to be a problem and an unsightly view of our community. This is a violation of the CCRs which states garbage cans are not to be seen from the street except on collection date (every Friday). JCP will be mailing out a notice informing all homeowners that garbage cans can be put in front of the units on Thursday night and must be removed and put out-of-sight by noon on Saturday, otherwise a fine will be issued.
Fran Oroson made a motion that the meeting be adjourned; it was seconded by Gary Gentry. The meeting was adjourned. The next meeting will be November 19, 2009, with Jamie, the Association’s insurance representative, present to answer any questions from homeowners.

Hot Off The Press "17-year-old arrested in golf course murder"
Wkrn Chanel 2
NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Police have made an arrest in last week's murder alongside a Nashville golf course.
Christian Walters, a 17-year-old student at Antioch High School, was taken into custody Tuesday for the murder of Dantrell McFadden.
McFadden, 21, was walking near the ninth hole at Nashboro Golf Club last Wednesday afternoon when he was shot.
He was transported to Southern Hills Medical Center where he was pronounced dead.
In a press conference held late Tuesday afternoon, Metro police said the murder was gang-related as the teenager is a known Crip member and McFadden a known Blood member.
"What happened was they were riding around in that area in a vehicle. The driver and the person we have under arrest today saw this victim, Mr. McFadden, walking down the road, saw a red bandana hanging out of his back pocket, they asked him if he was a Blood and asked him if he was a gang member," Lt. Duane Williamson explained.
Police said Walters retrieved a weapon and then returned to where the victim was and fired three to four shots.
"What should bother us is if one of our children [has] something hanging out our pocket with what someone else perceives as a gang color, are they going to do the same thing to them? This gang stuff is getting way out of hand," Lt. Williamson continued.
Police said Walters, who admitted he fired shots at McFadden after the two exchanged opposing gang-related gestures, had perfect attendance and was a good student.
He is charged with criminal homicide.
Prosecutors hope to try him as an adult.
Metro police said the investigation continues and additional arrests are anticipated.

Crime Update
Sorry to say I have to report another incident of crime at The Greens.On Sunday,
October 11Th, 12 noon, a young man from The Greens was mugged by a masked person
with a knife on the corner of Longhunter and Nashboro Greens. That is correct noon this Sunday.
Not gang related, just a mugging.
Two things from the police officers - make sure that you call them or at least crime stoppers anytime you see something that is not right. The more complaints they get the more chance we get to have more police patrolling the area. Another interesting thing was that the crime has increased since all the condos allowed renters. All the condos through out Nashville Village are affected here.
I think when it was decided to have condo owners rent units when they are not supposed to,
that all the homeowners should have been allowed to the vote on this issue. There are units here that were purchased here just for the purpose of renting which is not part of our rules.
Sorry, The Police want to keep the whole community aware of what is going on in the area.
Anyone with any ideas or thoughts, feel free to let me know..
But please call if something is going on.....
Jim any news on the signs? The police asked why we never have put up signs..
Thanks all and hope to see many of you at the insurance update meeting.

News Chanel 5
NASHVILLE, Tenn. - A newborn baby who was abducted from a home in Antioch has been found safe in Ardmore, Alabama - about 85 miles away.
Maria Gurrolla said she was stabbed multiple times Tuesday by a woman pretending to be an immigration worker who showed up at her home. When Gurrolla ran next door for help, she said the woman abducted her now 7-day-old son, Yair Anthony Carillo.
A Kia Spectra was photographed at a nearby Walmart following Gurrolla before the attack. Police said 39-year-old Tammy Renee Silas rented the vehicle from the Nashville Airport the same day. Silas is from Ardmore.
Police found the newborn boy uninjured around 10 p.m. Friday at a home in Ardmore.
Silas was being held in the Morgan County Jail pending kidnapping and assault charges.

Police Release Sketch In Abducted Newborn Case
NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Police released a sketch of the suspect wanted in connection with the abduction of a South Nashville newborn, who was stolen from his mother just days ago.Maria Gurrolla said she was stabbed multiple times Tuesday by a woman pretending to be an immigration worker who showed up at her home. When Gurrolla ran next door for help, she said the woman abducted her now 7-day-old son, Yair Anthony Carillo.
Metro police officers went door to door Thursday with the sketch of the suspected woman, who according to police, could be involved in the stabbing of Gurrolla and the kidnapping of her baby. Police didn't release that sketch to the public until Friday.
Gurrolla described the woman who attacked her as a heavyset woman with blond hair.
Increasing their efforts, a crime scene analyst went back to the home Thursday on East Ridge Drive looking for evidence that could lead to the suspect. Then on Friday authorities pulled together multiple units to form a task force dedicated to finding baby Yair.
Metro police said the search still continued for the driver of a dark-colored Kia Spectra. Officials believe that driver could have witnessed the abduction of the newborn.
Police also said they have new leads coming in every hour and each piece of information is being checked out and thoroughly investigated. Authorities said they know someone in the community knows were baby Yair is, and they need that person to come forward.
Cathy Nahirny, an infant abduction case expert at the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, said there have been at least two other recent cases where the abductor used the same ploy of immigration agent because of the assumption that Latina families will be reluctant to tell police.
