Three people have been charged following a traffic stop early Monday morning in the area of Victoria Avenue and Grand Avenue in Chatham.
According to the Chatham-Kent Police Service, a woman in the back seat of the vehicle attempted to hide her face with the hood of her coat in an effort to avoid being recognized by the officer.
The officer identified the woman and learned she was currently bound by a daily curfew of 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. The 32-year-old Chatham resident was arrested for allegedly breaching her curfew and charged with failing to comply.
In the immediate area where she was sitting, the officer allegedly located baggies of cocaine.
Police said the female in the front passenger seat was also found to be in possession of crystal methamphetamine.
All three occupants in the vehicle were arrested and charged with two counts of possession for the purposes of trafficking.
The 49-year-old Leamington male driver and 45-year-old Leamington woman in the passenger seat were released pending future court dates.
The rear passenger has been held in custody pending a bail hearing.
Man charged with mischief
A 30-year-old Chatham man has been charged with mischief under $5,000 following after allegedly throwing a rock through the window of a residence.
Police said the alleged incident occurred Sunday morning around 7:15 a.m. The man allegedly attended a residence of a woman known to him and began banging on the door while yelling at her.
According to police, the man then picked up a rock and threw it at a decorative window of the home causing about $500 damage.
The man has been released pending a future court date.
Police warn about fraudulent emails
The CKPS said it has been notified of emails asking the recipient to buy three $100 iTunes gift cards for a colleague who is currently undergoing surgery.
The author allegedly asked the recipient to send pictures of the gift cards showing the sixteen digit pin on the back.
Police said the author advised they couldn’t buy the gift cards as they were travelling, but assured the recipient that they would pay them back upon return.
The recipient recognized the email as fraudulent and did not buy the gift cards. CKPS advises residents who receive a similar email to delete it immediately and report it to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre at www.antifraudcentre-centreantifraude.ca/index-eng.htm.
