Directors are dismayed that an apparent campaign of deliberate vandalism is targeting the SNBT system throughout much of rural New Brunswick. In the past few days, 10 gates were cut off and 32 signs were stolen, including several stop signs that create an immediate safety hazard for trails users. The value of the damages to the Miramichi line alone is more than $8,000. In many rural areas throughout the province, the ongoing vandalism on trails is generating increasing expenses for NBTCI. “Our volunteer board of directors work hard to provide a safe and enjoyable trail system for New Brunswick residents and visitors. It is frustrating when we see hard-earned fundraising and taxpayer dollars thrown away because of the action of thoughtless and inconsiderate vandals,” stated Brian Clark, NBTCI president. The RCMP and New Brunswick Off Road Vehicle Enforcement unit have been notified of all of the damages and NBTCI encourages anyone to report any vandalism done on the Sentier NB Trail. If anyone has any information about this vandalism, or if they see anyone who is acting suspiciously, they are asked to contact local police, or remain anonymous and become eligible for a cash award by contacting Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

The Miramichi Police Force, N.B. Crime Stoppers, and NB Power are concerned about this theft as these ground wires not only endanger the person(s) responsible, but also to NB Power employees and the general public. Interruptions due to copper theft can also lead to loss of electricity to essential services such as hospitals and 911 services. An example occurred in New Brunswick when criminals stole copper from a substation in Stanley, New Brunswick, which resulted in a loss of electricity that not only affected homes and businesses, but also resulted in 911 services being lost for several hours. It is for all of these reasons that NB Power will enhance its relationship with Crime Stoppers, and will add up to an additional $5,000 in award money for tips leading to arrests made in copper thefts from NB Power property and/or facilities. “Copper theft is extremely dangerous and compromises the safety of our employees, first responders and the public," said Duff Boyd, Director of Health, Safety and Security for NB Power. “Tampering with equipment in our substations can lead to deadly consequences for the criminal, but also for anyone coming in close proximity to the facility, which could include an employee entering the substation to conduct maintenance or a child who may be playing in the area.” If anyone has any information about this theft, or if they see anyone who is acting suspiciously, they are asked to contact Miramichi Police at (506) 623-2124, or remain anonymous and become eligible for a cash award by contacting Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

The typical pattern for the scam is that a resident receives a call from an automated prompter stating that a prize has been won. The message continues by asking the victim to push ‘9’ or another number, eventually leading to the victim being asked to provide a credit card number.   Another scam circulating is where the caller states they are calling on behalf of Mastercard Corporation. The caller then recites an incomplete credit card number and asks that the victim reveal the last 4 digits of their Mastercard number, or in some circumstances, the 3-digit Credit Card Validation Code on the back of their Mastercard. Miramichi Polce Force has contacted Mastercard Corporation who has stated there is no such campaign being conducted by the company. In fact, Mastercard will never call their customers asking for information such as card or account numbers, as they already have them.   Miramichi Force advises the public to use good judgement and commonsense when answering automated telephone solicitations. Do not submit to any solicitation over the phone where you have to provide confidential information. You can become a victim of fraud or identity theft.   To educate yourself, or to report receiving such a call, please contact our partner, “PhoneBusters” toll free: 1-888-495-8501, or visit them online at: http://www.phonebusters.com/ . ► FEBRUARY 12, 2007 :: MIRAMICHI POLICE FORCE      Miramichi Police investigate theft from G & G Brothers at 1119 King George Hwy.   Miramichi Police Force received a report of a weekend (February 10-12, 2007) theft of snowmobile parts from G & G Brothers at 1119 King George Hwy.
