New Smyrna Beach enforcing new tow, ticket policy
The city of New Smyrna Beach is warning drivers of a new city ordinance that allows the police department to begin booting and towing cars.
NEW SMYRNA BEACH, Fla. - Poorly written parking citations are making the rounds in New Smyrna Beach.
The fake citations, handwritten on college-ruled notebook paper, are being placed on cars throughout the city.
A Facebook post from the New Smyrna Beach Police Department this week warned beachgoers about the citations.

"It has been brought to our attention that people are placing FAKE parking citations on vehicles," police said. "We do not issue parking citations in the form of a handwritten note."
The letter, written in blue pen ink, says "$100.00 fine" and "30 day [sic] to be paid," followed by a fake website link. The ticket-writer also included a phone number.
