SOUTH BRUCE OPP KEPT BUSY WITH VEHICLE CRASHES (SOUTHERN BRUCE COUNTY, ON) – A winter storm passed through Southern Bruce County March 3, bringing with it high wind and periods of heavy snow. Between 8 a.m. March 3, and 8 a.m. March 4, the South Bruce OPP responded to 11 vehicle crashes. Some of the crashes resulted in very minimal damage; only one crash resulted in minor injuries. Having a vehicle with an electronic traction control system, anti-lock brakes, four snow tires and reducing vehicle speed will keep you safer for winter driving. During severe winter storms, motorists are asked to consider postponing their trips in the interest of public safety. LARGE HOUSE PARTY GETS ATTENTION FROM POLICE (WALKERTON, ON) – March 3, at 11:06 p.m., the South Bruce OPP received a noise complaint about a residence along Ridout Street in Walkerton. Officers arrived to find that a large house party was the cause of the noise. Police patrols were conducted in the area in an effort to deter illegal activity. Six liquor violation tickets were served, four of them on males less than 18 years of age. NIGERIAN SCAM ALERT (SOUTHERN BRUCE COUNTY) – March 2, at 10:30 a.m., the South Bruce OPP received a report of an attempted scam, from a resident of the Municipality of Kincardine. A letter was received from a Spanish lawyer advising about the death of a relative and a $10.5-million inheritance to be claimed by providing banking information. More commonly known as the Nigerian scam or Advanced Fee scam, a potential victim is selected, and then contacted by mail or by E-mail. The country of origin and the “lawyer” names will vary, but the scam always involves a huge sum of money left by the death of a relative. The South Bruce OPP recommends never responding to an unsolicited letter or E-mail and always protecting your personal information, especially banking information. “If something seems too good to be true, it likely is. Predictable is preventable." For more information on fraud, call 1-888-495-8501 or check on-line at http://www.antifraudcentre.ca
