Full Notification

Lancaster Detectives are currently investigating a possible Theft by False Pretenses involving approximately 600 fitness club members. It is alleged that members were electronically over charged for their September 2016 dues by owners/operators of Sport Club AV in the city of Lancaster. These dues were not previously disclosed to the members and the business closed soon after the dues were collected. The business was located at 1020 Commerce Center Drive.
     ***Lancaster Station Detectives currently are looking to identify additional potential victims over the next 10 days. If you believe you are a potential victim, please call or leave a message with Det. Maloney (661) 940-3860 or Det. Keesee (661) 940-3898 by December 12^th 2016. We ask that victims gather membership contracts, and any bank statements or receipts documenting your membership dues. We thank victims and community members for their patience and understanding in this matter.
     We understand that many members are upset with the business and ask that they refrain from any unlawful activities such as vandalism, assaulting or stalking any employees or owners associated with this incident. We have also discovered several social media postings of the owner’s personal information and home address has proven to be inaccurate and ask that persons do not act unlawfully to contact the owners.
