A busy week for Northfield Village Police Department included multiple incidents at the MGM Casino, disorderly conduct calls, and various property crimes. Here’s a roundup of recent police activity from March 17-24.
Casino-Related Incidents
March 17 – Officers took a report of vandalism to a VLT machine at MGM Casino. The incident actually occurred in January, but the casino reported that the suspect never returned their calls. MGM management signed charges for vandalism on March 18, and the suspect was advised to turn himself in.
March 21 – At approximately 11:04 PM, officers were dispatched to the MGM Casino south parking lot for a reported fight. Security personnel had already separated the parties involved. After reviewing surveillance footage, officers determined that a physical altercation had occurred between a male and two females. All parties were issued summonses for Disorderly Conduct and advised of their court dates.

Harassment and Identity Theft

- A telecommunications harassment report was filed at a Ledge Road address after reviewing emails and statements provided by the victim.
- A resident reported to the police station that his identity had been used to open an AT&T account. Officers initially advised the resident to verify with AT&T that the collections notices weren’t a scam. The following day, the resident confirmed via email that AT&T verified an account had been opened under his name.
