Scam warning

Businesses are being warned of a new telephone scam.

Hang up if someone claiming to be a local police officer phones, and asks for a donation to a community cause you allegedly supported in the past.

An apparent colleague of the caller then calls within ten minutes of the original call asking for payment.

Never make a donation over the phone to an unsolicited caller without verifying the caller by asking for their full name, job title and telephone number so you can check it out.

Toronto coke bust

The RCMP have arrested 5 people in an international cocaine bust at the Toronto airport, and two of them are Canadian border agents.

Officials allege the pair facilitated the importation of more than 30 kilograms of cocaine between January last year and April this year.  They also seized cocaine shipped to Toronto from Colombia and Jamaica.
