The Hawkesbury Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) wishes to remind residents that eve- ryone has a role in crime prevention and in reducing the potential of criminal acts. Whenever a theft is committed, there are always three components present, reminds the OPP: a criminal, an opportunity and a victim. Residents can discourage a thief from victimizing property by taking away opportu- nities or reducing them.This is where people can protect themselves most, adds the OPP. Another means of protecting property is to have good communications with neigh- bours. If something suspicious is seen, it is
important to write down the description of any suspicious persons, as well as themake, model, colour and license number of strange vehicles or vehicles passing by numerous times, suspiciously parked or constantly traveling alleyways. OPP ask people to call the police and other members of your neigh- bourhood immediately. Police remind residents that they can protect themselves by having good lighting, good lock security and let a trusted neigh- bour know when the house will be vacant for an extended period of time.
Direction of travel and description of the suspect vehicle was provided to police. He was then spotted driving dangerously in Hawkesbury. After dropping off both passengers in town, the suspect failed to stop for police and almost collided head on with a police cruiser and then clipped a second cruiser without causing damage before fleeing the scene once again. Policemanaged to obtain the license plate number of the suspect vehicle. The plate was attached to the wrong vehicle as it was
Highway Traffic Act with two counts of Fail to remain at the scene, and use of plates not authorized for vehicle. Further investigation revealed that the vehicle was not insured. As well as the other charges, Auger was also charged under the Compulsory Automobile Insurance Act ope- rating a motor vehicle without insurance. The set minimum fine for driving without insurance is $5000. Auger was later released and scheduled to appear in L’Orignal court onDecember 2.
