A resident in the Fairmile area of the Properties was alerted by their by their home security system to a suspect attempting entry.
The resident immediately called police and relayed information as officers responded quickly to the area and surrounded the home with the suspect still inside.
The suspect was arrested without incident when they stepped out of the home. No property was lost. The suspect was held for a court facing a charge of Break & Enter & Commit Indictable Offence – S.348(1)(b) C.C.C.
Scam Alert
Several residents and even your Block Watch Coordinator were recipients this week of the scam attempt seen at right. A text message or email shows up on your smart phone, claiming there is an unresolved ticket in your name and demanding immediate action to resolve it.
The scammers direct you to a link, hoping you will fall for the ruse, click on the link, and then begin to provide personal or financial information which is then used to make unauthorized withdrawals from your accounts.
This is not a legitimate message. Do not click on the link. Delete the message and block the number that sent it.
