Greenwich investigates fake copies of coveted beach passes ...
Boston Globe
.....The parks department head says a would-be whistle-blower recently sent his office a binder of information, including copies of fake passes and information on the alleged counterfeiter.
If true, the allegations could cost that person his or her recreation privileges and possibly bring criminal charges.
Having a Greenwich beach pass and parking permit can save beachgoers hundreds of dollars yearly -- especially for nonresidents, who pay higher entry and parking fees. And until a state Supreme Court ruling in 2001, nonresidents were banned entirely from the beaches.
It's not known who might have gotten the counterfeit passes and how many may have been in circulation.
Town officials say they've been stepping up security on the beach cards, including by adding holograms, bar codes and other anti-counterfeiting measures.....
Wait A Minute:
A Whistle Blower Gives Fake Beach Passes To The Parks Department And He or She Then Has To Give A Second Copy To Reporter Of The Greenwich Time.
Why Hasn't Joesph Sicilano called the Greenwich Police Department?
