“The resident attended the front counter to report a telephone scam involving someone claiming to be from Telus. The person convinced the complainant to allow access to her computer. After a short time, the complainant realized it was probably a scam and disconnected,” detailed Sgt. Kim Hillier.
Nothing was reported stolen by the complainant, Hillier confirmed.
"It really took up a lot of our police resources"
RCMP are taking the time to remind the public that hanging out on the roof of a local school ties-up resources.
“We had multiple complaints of people on the roof of both Dr. Brosseau School and Notre Dame High School,” Hillier said about the Aug. 11 incident.
The call came in at around 9:25 p.m. of multiple people on the roof of the schools.
One complainant, who was reporting three people on the rooftop of Dr. Bernard Brosseau School, said he believed there were three people "crawling around."
“Members spent a considerable amount of time patrolling the area trying to locate these people, and were unsuccessful,” noted Hillier. “We feel that these were probably some younger people, teenagers or younger kids. These things tie-up police resources, and it’s a crime to be on the roof of the school… and it’s very unsafe."
Taking a nap behind the wheel
A 36-year-old Vermilion man was caught sleeping behind the wheel at midnight on Aug. 12.
According to Hillier, police received a report that a red truck with a boat trailer attached was parked on the side of the road and the driver appeared to be sleeping.
The man failed a roadside screening and was taken to the detachment where he provided samples of 170-milligrams of alcohol per 100-millilitres of blood.

Looking for the owners
Police are looking for the owners of three hockey bags that were found in the backyard of one man's residence.

If you believe these items belong to you, contact the detachment.
