Police investigate single Taco Bell hot sauce packet delivered to Gillette woman’s home

Posted

GILLETTE (WNE) — Police are investigating after Taco Bell hot sauce packets were sent to a woman whose personal information was recently compromised.

A 43-year-old DoorDash driver said someone made an order Saturday night for a home in the 400 block of Clarion Drive containing a single Taco Bell hot sauce packet. She believed the order may have been sent as a prank, said Deputy Chief Brent Wasson, and she called the police.

During the investigation, officers spoke with the 44-year-old woman who lives at the home, who said this was the third time she had received a DoorDash delivery of Taco Bell hot sauce. She did not know who made the orders, but thought it was suspicious.

The woman had reported on Friday that an unknown person accessed her personal information and opened a credit card in her name. The suspect tried to use the card at multiple locations, totaling $3,800. She was able to contact her bank and the charges were stopped before she was out any money, Wasson said.

She also said that her daughter, age unknown, had received texts from unknown numbers asking for her name. She blocked the numbers, which appeared to be fictitious and internet-generated, Wasson said.

The investigation continues.
