South Bruce OPP are warning residents about a potential paving scam after several people were approached with offers for asphalt work in Brockton. Police say officers stopped several vehicles during proactive patrols on Nov. 11 and discovered the occupants were operating a paving company involved in multiple projects in the municipality. Residents had reportedly been approached with offers for asphalt work and signed contracts that police say may be misleading. Police say the individuals are not local to the area and are operating a fleet of white work vehicles. The investigation is ongoing, and no criminal charges have been laid. OPP are advising residents to carefully review documents before signing, avoid feeling pressured into agreements and support reputable local businesses. Police also warn that offers that seem too good to be true may be fraudulent.
