Potential distraction theft attempt reported in Guelph
A gold necklace is seen in this undated file image. (The Glorious Studio/ People in Guelph are being warned about the reemergence of a popular scam. A man told the Guelph Police Service he was walking near Edinburgh Road South and Carrington Place just before 2 p.m. Wednesday afternoon when people inside a vehicle called out to him. Thinking they needed directions, he approached the car where he said the female passenger tried to put a gold necklace on him. He quickly stepped back and the vehicle took off. Police said scammers will often place cheap costume jewelry on a victim in hopes of distracting a potential victim long enough that they can take their real valuables. The man described three people in the vehicle as Middle Eastern, including a man and woman in their 40s and a woman possibly in her 70s who was asleep in the back seat. They were driving a newer grey Mazda 6.
