ENFIELD: Over the past week, members of the East Hants RCMP responded to 110 calls for service.
Here’s a brief look at a few notables as provided by Community Policing Officer Const. Preston Burns, with East Hants RCMP.
FACEBOOK SCAM
On June 13, East Hants RCMP received a complaint that a female had sent a significant amount of money to a woman via text with the intent of buying an item on Facebook marketplace.
After sending the money, all communication ceased, and the woman was left without the item.
This scam is extremely prevalent and effective. The public is urged to never send money to anyone that they don’t know over the internet or via phone.
SECURE YOUR PROPERTY
The East Hants RCMP want to remind the public to ensure their property is secure at all times as theft of motor vehicles, mischief and break and enters are on the rise. Most of the time, these crimes are preventable.
Please ensure to lock your vehicles and doors to sheds and buildings a night.
Do not leave keys of any sort inside your vehicle and take valuables such as phones, wallets, and purses inside with you.
