At this time of the year citizens may fall prey to over inflated and unnecessary repairs to their homes and property. The Peterborough Lakefield Community Police Service is encouraging residents to be cautious of home/property maintenance companies canvassing their neighbourhoods offering their services. We would like to encourage people to refrain from agreeing to services on impulse and recommend the following considerations:
- There rarely exists the necessity to act immediately on these offers and almost all reputable companies will allow the customer to reflect and purchase the service at a later date for the same price quote.
- Obtain comparison quotes in writing or consult with a trusted and knowledgeable third party.
- Spend a few minutes researching the company and its reputation, get references and check warranties and guarantees.
- Never pay in full until the work is complete. Ten percent of the total estimate is a fair down payment.

On the 3rd of May at approximately 10:31 pm the Peterborough Lakefield Community Police Service responded to a call from a citizen who believed they saw a body floating down the Otonabee River within the city of Peterborough. The caller could not determine whether it was male or female but was able to describe clothing that included light pants and a light coloured sweater similar to a hoodie.
Preliminary searches of the area with assistance of the Peterborough Fire Department were conducted with negative results. At the present time there are no reports of any missing persons matching this description. A zone alert has been sent to surrounding police services. The investigation is continuing.
It is requested that residents along the river from Peterborough down to Rice Lake call Police if they notice anything suspicious in the water and ask that they pay special attention to their shorelines. |
