    She believed she heard her grandson and was told to leave the money on a doorstep.

    Last week, the RNC received a report from an elderly woman that someone identifying as a police officer called to ask for money to get her grandson out of jail. She believed she heard her grandson and was told to leave the money on a doorstep. After agreeing to this, she called her grandson who confirmed he was not in need. The woman did not deliver the funds but police believe the person responsible is in the region.
