PAGE 10THE CANADIAN STATESMAN, FEBRUARY 26,2003 www.durhamregion.com Beware of bogus police charity collectors DURHAM - The fraud squad is warning residents to be wary of bogus charity canvassers seeking donations on behalf of Durham Regional Regional Police. The unit is investigating after someone recently received a call from a person claiming to be soliciting soliciting funds on behalf of the police department "to keep criminals in jail and youth off the streets," a police police statement says. The caller requested a credit card number to process the donation, however, the victim didn't pay. Neither Durham Regional Police nor the Durham Regional Police Association are currently canvassing canvassing for donations, the statement said. Anyone with information about this or similar incidents is asked to call police at 905-579-1520, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477. 2003 Regional Business Plans And Budgets Golf tourney raises $3,500 BOWMANVILLE - The annual Grant Flintoff Memorial Golf Tournament raised $3,500 this year, which will be used to purchase a Vital Signs Monitor for the Special Care Unit at Lakeridge Health Bowmanville.
