(NORFOLK COUNTY, ON) – The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) Norfolk County Detachment have received several complaints from residents after suspicious individuals were canvassing homes in the Simcoe and Delhi area in an effort to inspect the homeowner’s hot water tank along with gas and hydro bills.
The Norfolk County OPP is urging all homeowners to be very skeptical when someone arrives at your door inquiring about any personal information about you or your residence.
“If there is something wrong with your gas and electricity, your gas and electricity provider will call you to make an appointment? They will not visit your home unannounced wanting to inspect your furnace or hot water heater and they will NOT ask to see your account number or your utility billsâ€Â, comments Constable Ed Sanchuk, Norfolk County OPP.
