Police warned the youth that he was operating the electric dirt bike illegally on the streets of the city without the proper license and equipment.
The same day, police received a report of a phone scam involving someone pretending to be from Telus.
The hacker managed to hack into the computer of the victim and steal $1,000 from her bank account. The bank dealt with the matter.
RCMP is reminding residents to be careful with unexpected phone calls, text messages, emails, and other social media contacts. Police said scammers can pretend to be from trusted organizations and may use threats or urgent requests to obtain personal and financial data.
Police are advising residents not to click suspicious links and verify all the information before responding.
The annual carnival also led to several calls for service between Aug. 21 and 23.
