Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) in South Bruce have warned residents after reports of a potential scam in the area.
Officers on routine patrol on Wednesday, Remembrance Day, stopped several vehicles. It turned out that the people involved had been operating a paving company in Brockton.
Residents had been approached about paving work and signed contracts that may have been misleading.
Police say that the individuals are operating a fleet of white work vehicles and are not from the area.
No criminal charges have been filed.
The OPP has reminded residents to support local, reputable businesses. They should also not be pressured into signing any contract, and should be sure to read and scan any contracts carefully. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
