WESTPORT — The Westport Police Department issued a statement today debunking a viral social media post claiming that a couple involved in a 2020 Tulsa crime was in the local area.
Authorities clarified that the image circulating online, which has caused concern among residents of Westport and neighboring communities, is based on outdated information.
The couple pictured were indeed involved in criminal activity three years ago but have no known connections to Westport at this time.
The police department took to their official channels to address the misinformation after receiving multiple messages from community members.
They urged the public to refrain from sharing the post and to rely only on verified sources for news on local criminal activity.
Residents are encouraged to stay informed through official police department updates and to report any suspicious activity directly to law enforcement.
