Also on Thursday, police received a report of a fight at a local business. The individuals were not fighting when police arrived. Everyone was sent on their way.
Several conditions checks completed on individuals around the city. All were complying with their conditions.
Police received a report of an attempted scam. Individuals purporting to be employers seeking employees offered a job to the victim and then attempted to collect personal information and deposit money into the victim’s account.
The scammer was attempting to get the individual to purchase items for the scammer. The victim became suspicious and terminated contact with the scammer. The scammer attempted to intimidate, threatening to call the police. The victim did not respond to the threats. The matter is still under investigation in an effort to link to other attempts to scam.
Police remind the public to be cautious what personal information you provide to someone over the phone or internet. Take extra efforts to identify and confirm the identity of those you are communicating with.
