Police received 44 calls for assistance from Dec. 10-Dec. 16, Staff Sgt. Ryan Currie said on Tuesday.
Police are warning the public about a new scam that has been circulating around the area in which a caller advises that your vehicle warranty is about to expire and that you can purchase further warranty over the phone with your credit card. If you do receive a call, hang up and call your dealership directly if you have any warranty concerns.
