The Carlyle RCMP detachment responded to several calls between Friday, Aug. 26 to Thursday, Aug. 31.
Wawota Fraud
One file resulted in the following charges under the Criminal Code of Canada being laid by Carlyle RCMP:
A 53-year-old male has been charged with three offences:
1) Fraud not exceeding $500
2) Possession of property obtained by crime
3) Uttering a forged document
This individual's court date is set for October in Carlyle Provincial Court.
It is alleged this individual came to a business agreement with an elderly resident in Wawota, Sask. to reseal his driveway. After the job was completed, it is alleged that this man altered the payment agreement, without the victim's knowledge, to a much higher sum. He then attended the Wawota Credit Union where he immediately cashed the cheque for the increased amount.
Cpl. James Barnett of the Carlyle detachment says: “We urge members of the public to be aware of these scams that often target elderly or otherwise vulnerable people.”
“If you have any questions concerning entering into any business agreement of this type, please contact the RCMP before doing so.”
