A Riverside man is accused of using a fake name and a bogus charity to scam victims out of thousands, and detectives believe more people may have been targeted.

The mystery remains over who placed a series of concrete barriers along streets throughout the West Valley in Southern California.

Some believe the numerous concrete cinder blocks are an effort to prevent homeless encampments and recreational vehicles (RVs) from parking in the area long-term.

Recently, the heavy, bright-colored blocks were installed in an industrial area of Chatsworth, just off Nordhoff Avenue. In other areas, rows of large 60-gallon barrels of water were placed on the street instead.
