CBSN
Police in Santa Cruz, California, arrested a 19-year-old they say made fake parking tickets and put them on parked cars near the beach. The fake tickets had a QR code that victims could scan to "pay" the fraudulent citations.
The man put the false citations — which directed potential victims to a website to pay a fine — on cars late Wednesday night, said Santa Cruz police.
Damian Vela, of Watsonville, California, was charged with unlawful use of a computer system and attempted fraud, police said. According to a news release from the department, when police spoke with Vela on Thursday, he denied receiving any payments.
