A Bowling Green man fell victim to an international telephone scam Friday when someone called his home and told him that his grandson had been arrested for marijuana possession in Mexico City and instructed the man to send $3,400 for the young man’s bond.

The man, who lives in the 1800 block of Westen Avenue, sent $3,400 via Western Union to Mexico City. He was instructed to call a man who identified himself as “Mr. Riley.” The man called “Mr. Riley,” who told him to send more money to get his grandson out of jail.

At that time, the Bowling Green man called his daughter-in-law, who informed him that his grandson was not in Mexico City and was in fact at home.

The number the Bowling Green man called was out of Canada. Police told the man that resolution to the case is limited due to the parties being outside of the country.

Upon arrival, both deputies could smell the heavy odor of ether coming from the trailer, the release said. Neighbors granted deputies permission to search the home and showed them a meth lab in the bathroom, the release said.
