The total damage was at least $36,000, most of it involving the loss of the two outhouses. Last week, a wooden bridge in the old mill ruins was set on fire.

Release: Immediately 16 Nov 04 BE CAREFUL OF PAVING SCAMS The County of Wellington O.P.P. wishes to warn residents of Wellington County to be careful of paving scams. Often, contractors offer to pave driveways at a reduced price, because they have a small amount of asphault left over from a nearby job. They approach homeowners and solicit their business but no contract is signed. When the job is complete, the price is higher than expected and the homeowner is threatened with legal action if they do not pay. Here are some tips that may help to prevent you from becoming a victim: 1. Get a written estimate before you agree to have any work completed. 2. Get several estimates to ensure that the price is reasonable for the work requested. 3. Call you local Better Business Bureau and see what the reputation of your contractor is. If you can't, check with his previous customers to see the quality of his/her work and prices charged. 4. Before you pay, make sure that the work completed is what you requested. 5. If you are overcharged, do not pay the contractor, call the Police immediately and report the incident. Release: 09 November 2004, immediately BREAK AND ENTERS (Puslinch Twp, Ont.)

CALL THE POLICE IMMEDIATELY TO REPORT CRIMES If you see a crime that is taking place or suspicious activity, you need to call the Police immediately and report the incident. Often people witness a crime in progress or suspicious activity and they feel they don't want to bother the Police because it's late at night so they wait until the next day to report it. This makes it difficult for the Police to catch the person(s) responsible and to prevent similar types of crimes from occurring to your neighbours. Here are some helpful hints that will assist the Police in their investigation: 1. Report all crimes immediately. If the crime is in progress, dial 9-1-1. 2. Do not warn the suspect(s) that you have spotted them. 3. Do not try to apprehend the suspect(s) yourself. This may be dangerous, especially if the suspect(s) is armed. Call the Police and let them arrest the suspect(s). They are equipped to make arrests. 4. If you can, try to record the licence numbers of any vehicles that may be involved. If not, try to get a description of the vehicle (make, model, colour, number of doors, any writing or marks on the vehicle that help to identify it). 5. Try to write down a description of the suspect(s) involved (colour, sex, age, height, weight, build, hair colour/style/length, eyes, glasses, facial hair, tattoos, and clothing). 6. If the suspect(s) leave before Police arrive, try to determine their direction of travel. 7. When you call the Police, make sure you confirm your address with the 9-1-1 operators before you hang up. Sometimes, the 9-1-1 listings are not up to date, especially if you have recently moved to a new address. Try to report any suspicious activity immediately. People generally have good instincts and when they see something that doesn't look right, they are generally correct. Often these tips help the Police catch someone before they commit the crime. Remember, if you have information that may assist the Police in solving any crime, please contact your local O.P.P. detachment or Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.
