Members attended to a local business for a report of two youths causing a disturbance and possibly committing a theft. Police were able to determine nothing was stolen but the youths were misbehaving. Their parents were to be advised of their children’s behaviour.
Police attended to two unrelated disturbances early on in the day. Officers were able to speak to a number of parties involved and mediated a resolution.
Members received two reports of attempted scams. One of the individuals received an automated messaging saying the Canada Border Services Agency had a package addressed to them that was suspicious. The individual didn’t respond to the message after realizing it was likely a scam. The second call was in relation the complainant being advised that there were warrants for their arrest and their SIN number had been frozen. The individual realized it was a scam and didn’t respond. Police continue to remind the public to be vigilant of any unsolicited calls in relation warrants of arrest, packages, SIN numbers, etc.
