(BROCKTON, ON) - The South Bruce OPP is warning the public about a potential local paving scam operating in the area.
Nov. 11, officers on general patrol, stopped several vehicles during proactive duties throughout the day.
Officers discovered the individuals were operating a paving company and were involved in several projects in the Municipality of Brockton. Residents were approached with an offer for asphalt and, subsequently, signed contracts that may be misleading.
The individuals in this investigation are currently operating a fleet of white work vehicles and are not local to the area.
The investigation is ongoing, and currently no criminal charges have been laid.
Residents are encouraged to only support local reputable businesses, to carefully read and scan any documents before signing, and not to be pressured into agreeing to anything. If an offer seems too good to be true, there is a high probability that it is fraudulent.
