Domestic Assault
On Monday, April 25, 2016, around 10:30 a.m., South Simcoe Police were called to a Innisfil home for a domestic assault. The victim told officers that she had an argument with her boyfriend. As she was standing in the closet packing clothes to leave, he pushed the closet door into her, causing her to lose her balance and fall against a dresser. The victim did not require medical attention. Officers contacted the suspect, who turned himself in. A 27-year-old man has been charged with Domestic Assault. He will be residing in Barrie, and has been ordered to stay away from the victim while he awaits his May court date.
Internet Fraud
BRADFORD - A Bradford resident gave out a little too much information over the internet. South Simcoe Police were notified after a victim clicked on an email attachment and provided vital credit card information. The email claimed to be from iTunes, with a "click here if you did not make these purchases" link. This scam, known as Phishing, attempts to get credit card information from unsuspecting victims by imitating legitimate websites.
South Simcoe Police advise you to check the senders email address carefully to establish credibility. Better yet, contact the company directly for advice.
