His condition continues to improve daily, which we believe has a lot to do with the power of prayer.
We are eternally grateful to Greg’s brothers and sisters at the Boynton Beach Police Department, who have not left his side since he was hurt and have made sure we have everything we need so that we can focus on his recovery; and to the miracle workers at Delray Medical Center, who are giving Greg the best possible care.
We also extend our heartfelt thanks to the people who saw Greg get injured and immediately got out of their cars and went to help him. You are heroes to us, and we hope to one day thank you personally.
Finally, we send our gratitude to the Boynton Beach Fire Rescue crew who rendered aid to Greg at the scene and on the way to the hospital. Your efforts were lifesaving and nothing short of miraculous.

Police are investigating a traffic crash that sent three people to the hospital early Wednesday, one with critical injuries.
The crash occurred around 4:46 a.m. at the intersection of Hypoluxo and Lawrence Roads when a silver Pontiac Grand Am made an improper left turn in front of a black Volkswagen Tiguan.

The Pontiac violated the Volkswagen’s right of way while making a left turn onto Lawrence Road. The Volkswagen struck the passenger’s side of the Pontiac.
The passenger, a 30-year-old Lantana man, was taken via Trauma Hawk to Delray Medical Center in critical condition. We are not releasing his name until we have been able to contact his family.

Boynton Beach Police enhance license plate recognition program
While out on patrol, officers received notification that a stolen Honda Accord was traveling southbound on North Seacrest Boulevard.
The officers stopped the car and detained the driver, who was later charged with theft of motor vehicle and possession of crack cocaine.
The technology that provided information about the stolen car is referred to as Automated License Plate Recognition, and the Boynton Beach Police Department recently initiated enhancements to the capacity of their solution.
“We are committed to reducing crime and improving safety and security in the city,” Chief Michael G. Gregory said. “With the ALPR enhancements, we are investing in technology that will allow us to prevent and deter crime as a modern 21st century police department.”
The Boynton Beach Police Department has been using this technology in a limited fashion for the past three years. The Automated License Plate Recognition system is being enhanced to expand our capacity to identify vehicles of interest, as well as stolen and suspect vehicles in partnership with Verra Mobility, the city’s red-light safety camera provider. The city’s most recent red-light camera agreement included the cost of the ALPR system to the monthly red-light camera fee, allowing the police department to deploy the technology in a cost effective manner.
CheckPlate, Verra Mobility’s ALPR solution, provides law enforcement agencies with additional intelligence needed to expand their investigative capabilities, identify vehicles of interest and most importantly, solve crimes.
“As a smart transportation mobility provider, finding new and innovative ways to meet the needs of our customers is at the core of our business,” said Charles Territo, Senior Vice President of Verra Mobility. “We appreciate the opportunity to partner with Boynton Beach on this important public safety initiative.”

Police are warning the public about a scam that is costing Boynton Beach seniors thousands of dollars.
At least three victims, all of whom live in the Hunters Run community, have been identified. Detectives believe there could be others and want to educate the community to prevent more.
Here’s an example of how the scam worked: one of the victim’s received a call from a woman who said she was a bank representative. The suspect told the 75-year-old victim that her accounts had been compromised. The victim believed the suspect because she knew very specific information about her checking account, and who else but a bank representative would know that information.
The suspect said the bank would be sending someone over to pick up the compromised debit cards, and within a few minutes, the victim heard a knock on her door. The suspect confirmed that the woman at the door was with the bank, and the victim gave her the debit cards. The suspect said the woman would soon return with new debit cards.
She never did. The scammers withdrew thousands of dollars from her bank account.
That same day, thousands of dollars were withdrawn from an 88-year-old man’s bank account after a call from a woman claiming to be a bank representative. In this case, she told him a bank representative was coming to collect his debit cards. A woman knocked on his door while he was still on the phone with the suspect. He gave her all six of his Wells Fargo credit/debit cards.
In the third incident, the suspect said she was from Chase Bank security and his debit cards had been compromised. The 71-year-old victim gave the suspect his debit card numbers over the phone. The woman then quickly hung up the phone. The victim contacted Chase Bank, which advised that there were no fraudulent charges on his account. The bank immediately cancelled his debit cards and changed all of his account numbers.
We urge everyone to share information about this scam, especially with senior citizens. If you get a call like this, do not provide them your bank information. Hang up and contact your bank directly. No bank will send a representative to your house to collect a compromised credit/debit card. Do not give your credit/debit cards to anyone that you do not know. Call Boynton Beach Police at 561-732-8116 to report all suspicious activity.
