SUSPICIOUS STOP
On March 4 a woman was driving home to Callander. It was 2:45 AM on Pinewood Park Rd. when a dark vehicle stopped her. This vehicle had red flashing lights in the back window. A male wearing a tacky hat with a badge then approached her and asked her questions, and then left. He also wore a parka. Although this appeared to be a uniform of sorts, it was not a police officer's uniform. This vehicle is further described as possibly having four doors.
