The Carlsbad Police Department’s Gypsy Hunter, Detective Patty Parra, spent the past four months looking for a pair of men who were preying on elderly women, and now that hard work has paid off according to a story on CBS8.com.
Handcuffed in court, police say 35-year-old Sonny Mitchell is a traveling gypsy who preys upon elderly women. Detectives say Mitchell and his accomplice trick senior drivers into pulling over, then after setting fires in their trunks, the scammers would allegedly convince the seniors that their cars needed immediate repair for their own safety.
Thanks to Parra’s work Mitchell is being held on $500,000 bail and his accomplice who was found in Reno, Nevada is in the process of being extradited.
