Police received a report that the complainant had been contacted on Facebook through a friend request. They ended up giving the credit card number to this person, who they believed was their friend. There was one charge of $249.00 that went through on the credit card. The complainant had since contacted the credit company to have this transaction reversed and cancel the credit card. This was regarding a trip that they had allegedly won. There is now two additional Facebook accounts that had been created using only her first name that she suspects are hers as well. She was advised by police to ensure that her credit cards were cancelled as well to send a report in to Facebook through their website, as there is nothing police can do with regards to Facebook complaints. This is another reminder of the use of your credit card and providing same, can cause alot of issues.

Impaired driving laws in Manitoba have changed as of December 1, 2015.  If you blow a warning on the roadside screening device, the 24 hour suspensions for alcohol have now increased to 72 hour suspensions and if a youth (anyone under the age of 16) is in the vehicle, the suspension will be issued for 7 days.  Remember - It's just not worth the risk, have a designated driver!!!
