The Police in Ceres are giving credit to a Modesto Bee reporter with letting them know about a scam where people were trying to sell fake Disneyland tickets on Craigslist.
Apparently, a person had bought tickets to Disneyland from a Ceres resident and found, once getting to the park, that the tickets were fake.
The victim told police that they had bought the tickets from 33-year-old Jessica Melendez. Police had heard talk around social media describing Melendez as a suspect in a similar case.
Police had visited Melendez’ home back on May 7 for to investigate a “civil matter” involving Disneyland tickets bought on Craigslist through 32-year-old Israel Vasquez. Further, a Ceres Police dispatcher was able to remember another incident back on May 20 near Central Avenue and Evans Road involving Vasquez and more Disneyland tickets he supposedly sold that turned out to be fake.
With the information mounting, police looked into Jessica and Israel’s records and found that the two both had active warrants.
A search of the home uncovered multiple printed Disneyland tickets, among other evidence.
Melendez is being held at Stanislaus County Public Safety Center without bail.
