ENFIELD: Over the past week, East Hants RCMP officers responded to 109 calls for service.

Here are a couple of the spotlighted calls as provided by Community Policing Officer Const. Preston Burns.

BITCOIN SCAM

On November 21, East Hants RCMP were advised of a scam whereas an Elmsdale resident was fooled into depositing $4,000 into a Bitcoin ATM in Lower Sackville.

They did that after being told that her accounts had been compromised by an unknown male over the phone.

The investigation continues.

East Hants RCMP wants to remind the public that these types of scams are on the rise and should contact the police before sending any funds to anyone they don’t’ know.

PEDESTRIAN HIT IN PARKING LOT

On November 23, at approximately 4:55 pm, East Hants RCMP was dispatched to a report of a pedestrian being struck by a vehicle.

The incident took place in the parking lot of the Elmsdale Superstore.

Upon arrival, officers spoke with the driver of the vehicle and the woman, from Enfield, who had been bumped at low speed by the vehicle.

Fortunately, the woman was not seriously injured and was able to drive herself away from the scene.
