SOUTH SIMCOE POLICE SERVICE

As a result of a month long investigation with South Simcoe Police Service’s Community Mobilization and Engagement Unit  (CMEU), Criminal Investigations Bureau  (CIB) and uniform officers, a warrant was executed on an Alcona residence on Friday, October 27, 2017. A quantity of cocaine and marijuana was seized as a result of the search. CMEU members along with uniform and with the assistance of Barrie City Police Canine Unit arrested two youths for possession and possession for the purpose of trafficking  drugs. One of the youths was also charged with breach of probation and the other had an added charge of fail to comply with his recognizance.  The investigation is continuing.

On Friday, October 27, 2017, South Simcoe Police received information about an internet fraud that had taken place.  The suspect convinced the victim to send a large quantity of money to help out a family member serving overseas.  All documents sent and viewed by the victim through the internet looked authentic giving no reason to think it was a fraudulent transaction.  Unfortunately, the victim is now out several hundred thousand  dollars.  The investigation is continuing. Internet fraud has reached epidemic proportions. Policing the internet is a difficult task.  In order to avoid becoming a victim, you must use common sense and caution. Fraud artists are experts on preying on their victim’s fears, insecurities, naivete and greed. If you come across a deal that sounds too good to be true, it might be a fraud. If you receive an email saying you owe money, it might be a fraud. If you get a message on your computer that you will be arrested or fined for your activities, it is a fraud. Government agencies, police, courts, Canada Revenue, and banks will never demand payment over the phone or by email. We never threaten arrest for nonpayment. If you suspect a scam, look up the agency phone number and call them for confirmation. Educate yourself and vulnerable members of your family by going to the Canadian Anti-Fraud website for more information. http://www.antifraudcentre-centreantifraude.ca/index-eng.htm
