ENFIELD<\/strong>: East Hants RCMP responded to 106 calls for service between Oct. 12 and Oct. 19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the weekly From the Cruiser column, East Hants RCMP S\/Sgt. Bushell indicated the following were some of the calls officers investigated over the past week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Oct. 18, officers were alerted to a suspicious person in the Gore area.  A homeowner reported there was an unknown male right outside their front door. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The individual had a pole with an instrument on the end. When confronted by the owner, the male stated he worked for Bell and was conducting internet speed testing.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The owner became suspicious when the man could not produce a business card or other credentials such as an identification card despite wearing a Bell hat and hoodie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Calls to Bell verified that technicians were in the area, but not dispatched to that address.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Residents are reminded there is nothing wrong with asking for proper identification when someone arrives on your property and claims to represent a company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

East Hants RCMP investigated a complaint of a scam reported to them on Oct. 18.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The victim advised they met a new acquaintance online using the app \u201cWhatsApp.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The conversation led to a discussion about crypto currency and the acquaintance suggested the victim try a particular investing app. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

S\/Sgt. Bushell said the victim took the advice and invested a considerable sum of money only to find the acquaintance was using a fake name, number and the funds were gone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the past week, East Hants members responded to three calls for abandoned vehicles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Did you know it is an offense to leave a vehicle parked or abandoned on a highway for a period of more that 24 hours?  Did you know police can tow, at the owner\u2019s expense, any vehicle found on the highway for a period of more than 24 hours? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

S\/Sgt. Bushell said police can also immediately tow any vehicle if found to be a menace to traffic in some way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He urges residents that if they have a break down, and need to abandon the vehicle, be sure to call the police of jurisdiction to report the location of the vehicle and your plans for it\u2019s removal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It may save you a costly tow bill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
