RIDE Spot Checks



Police are looking for assistance from the public in identifying a driver who stopped briefly at a RIDE spot check and then fled the scene. On Saturday March 24 at approximately 9:15 pm police were conducting RIDE on Bruce Street at Maloney Road in Renfrew. A male driver in a 4 door black Pontiac Grand Am or G6 briefly stopped, and then drove off when directly to pull off the road by the police. Open alcohol was seen in the vehicle. Patrols were conducted but officers were unable to locate the vehicle. If you have information on this vehicle or driver please call the OPP at 1-888-310-1122 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477. PC Jodi Burns is leading the investigation.



Impaired Driver



On Tuesday March 20 at approximately 5 pm PC Kayla Couture stopped a vehicle in Arnprior for a traffic offence. The male driver had been drinking and failed a roadside alcohol screening test. Following further breath tests at the detachment Ralph PEDLEY aged 62 of McNab Braeside Township was charged with impaired driving, and driving over 80 mgs. He was released on a promise to appear in court in Renfrew on April 18.



March and April bring Tax Scams



Scammers are very busy this time of year with tax related scams intended to frighten victims and trick you into sending them money. Fraudsters will claim they are calling from the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) and that either you owe them taxes, or that a refund is due. Their preferred payment form for taxes owed is in iTunes cards, so that is your first clue that something is not right. The CRA would never call you, they always correspond by mail, and secondly they do not accept payments in the form of iTunes cards. They will also claim you may be arrested immediately if you don't pay today. The police in Canada would never arrest you for not paying taxes. Should the scammers be telling you a refund is owed, they are trying to get your banking information, claiming they will may a deposit. In fact, they will empty your bank account if you share this information with them. Protect yourself and your money. Learn more from the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre at 1-888-495-8501, or online at www.antifraudcentre.ca



Road Rage



Police responded to a dispute that brought traffic to a halt on Raglan St S in Renfrew on Tuesday March 20 at approximately 11:15 am. The investigation revealed one driver cut another off at the intersection of Raglan and Hall Ave. The lead driver then stopped their vehicle on the roadway and a dispute between two drivers erupted. Paul Chapeski aged 37 of Renfrew was charged with failing to yield to traffic on a through highway, and unnecessary slow driving, under the Highway Traffic Act. One vehicle was towed from the scene. PC Lindsey Moore led the investigation.



Fail to Yield to School Bus



A tragedy was narrowly avoided when a driver failed to yield to a school bus with lights flashing unloading children in Arnprior. Witnesses advised on Thursday March 22 at approximately 2:53 pm on Division Street in Arnprior a school bus was stopped, lights activated and the stop arm out unloading children when a male driver proceeded through the lights and almost struck a parent. The male driver then started to reverse his vehicle almost striking several children crossing the road. He then drove off.
