Sheriff’s Office warns residents of new scam The Lake County Sheriff’s
Take a step back in time Antioch’s Dickens Holiday Village returns
Each year the Antioch Chamber of Commerce hosts the Dickens Holiday Village in the downtown area. The village is a public art project run completely by volunteers. More Dickens characters are enhanced and reimagined by the volunteers to expand the program. Tours are available for large groups and Walking Brochures are available at the Dickens Welcome Center at Hannahs on Lake Street for a self-guided tour. The Antioch Chamber also hosts the Kringle’s Christmas Village. The display is indoors at 510 Orchard St. in downtown. The indoor showroom is open from Thanksgiving Day through New Year’s Day, from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Kids of all ages will enjoy dozens of animated oversized shadowboxes throughout the downtown. Visit with Santa Santa and the Christmas season arrives in Antioch with the Christmas Parade sponsored by the Village of Antioch. The parade takes place on Friday, Nov. 28, on Main Street between Park Avenue and Depot Street traveling North. The Tree Lighting Ceremony in front of Village Hall follows the parade. The Antioch Community High School Chorus will sing carols and the Antioch Fire Department hands out free cookies and hot chocolate.
On Saturdays and Sundays Santa’s Frozen Village features some of Santa’s Frozen Friends from noon to 4 p.m. There is a $5 per person of all ages donation at the door (ages 1 to 99) on weekends. All the children receive presents. Visit AntiochChamber.org for complete Frozen information.
Office and 19th Judicial Circuit have become aware of a new scam targeting Lake County residents. This scam involves con artists calling Lake County residents, introducing themselves as a member of the Lake County Sheriff’s Office. The scammers utilize an actual name of a Sheriff’s Office employee. The scammer then informs the victim a Lake County Judge (also utilizing the name of an actual Judge) issued an arrest warrant. The caller is then instructed to purchase a “voucher” in order to avoid arrest. Neither the Sheriff’s Office nor 19th Judicial Circuit call residents and request money. Lake County Government will not ask for or accept payment in the form of gift cards or ‘Green Dot’ cards. Most of the times the scammers are operating out of other states or countries. The best course of action is to hang up and if utilizing a cellphone, block the caller’s telephone number from being able to contact you again. You may also file a report with your local law-enforcement agency. If you are ever doubtful of a government official
