Card skimming fraud in Red Deer
Red Deer RCMP
An observant Red Deer man saved himself and his credit card company a lot of trouble when he noticed that his credit card wasn’t fitting smoothly into the hand held debit/ credit machine he was using at the Edo Japan Restaurant on 69 Street and Taylor Drive in Red Deer. On close examination of the machine, it was discovered that it contained a magnetic strip that the business’s other machines did not have. The man alerted the business owner and called RCMP, who removed the affected machine and sent it away for analysis by crime technicians. The remaining credit/ debit machines at this restaurant had not been tampered with.
RCMP review of the business surveillance revealed three men entering the business on July 29, making small purchases and looking around the front counter area before leaving. The same three men then returned on July 30. At that time, one man served as lookout, another distracted staff and the third placed a backpack on the counter and then surreptitiously switched the machines while he placed a food order. He paid for his food with cash and the three men departed.
The suspects are described as:
RCMP wish to remind business owners not to let point of sale (debit and credit) machines out of their sight. It only takes a moment for scammers to insert a magnetic strip into point of sale machines or, in this case, to switch the machine for one with a magnetic strip already inserted; the magnetic strip then streams clients’ banking information and PINs to the scammers’ device. Businesses are advised to check their point of sale machines regularly, looking for wires, loose pieces or other evidence the machine has been tampered with.

Calgary Police Service
The Calgary Police Service has charged two people in relation to an incident that occurred yesterday, Wednesday, Aug. 13, 2014, at approximately 9:30 pm.
After passing a group of men at a McKenzie Lake gas station, a man and a woman left the area in their vehicle. When the male driver noticed they were being followed by a vehicle containing three men, he pulled over on Mount McKenzie Drive SE to call 911. The second vehicle caught up, and a confrontation ensued. It is alleged that one of the occupants of the second vehicle then fired a pellet gun at the first vehicle, shattering the window, before fleeing the area. The driver sustained minor injuries and was transported to hospital as a precaution.
CPS officers located the suspect vehicle a short time later and the three occupants were taken into custody without incident. An air pistol and a canister of bear spray were found in the vehicle.
Saadullah BHATTI, 18, of Calgary has been charged with one count of mischief to property, two counts of assault with a weapon and two breaches of conditions.
Armanjot DHALIWAL, 18, of Calgary, has been charged with one count each of assault and possession of a weapon dangerous to the public.
This event is not believed to be random, as one of the victims and at least one of the suspects are known to one another.
The investigation continues and further charges may be laid.

Bold Eagle program celebrates 25 years
Lieutenant-General Marquis Hainse, Commander of the Canadian Army was at the 3rd Canadian Division Training Centre in Wainwright, Alberta yesterday to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Bold Eagle program. The Commander saluted this year’s graduates alongside Vice-Chief E. Dutch Lerat, Federation of Saskatchewan Indian Nations (FSIN), Bold Eagle Management Committee members, First Nations Chiefs and Elders, and families.
Bold Eagle is a tailored partnership program that helps Aboriginal youth from across western Canada develop self-confidence, self-discipline, teamwork, and valuable leadership skills. Of the 107 Aboriginal candidates in this year’s Bold Eagle program, 94 are graduating.
Quick Facts
- Bold Eagle is a summer youth program that combines Aboriginal culture with military training, offering candidates hands-on skills development, teamwork experience, physical fitness, cultural, and military teaching components.
- The Bold Eagle program began in Saskatchewan in 1989 as a local initiative between the Prince Albert Tribal Council (now the Prince Albert Grand Council) and the Department of National Defence and Canadian Armed Forces (DND/CAF).
- With this year’s candidates, more than 1 350 Aboriginal youth have completed the Bold Eagle program in its 25 year history.
- Bold Eagle applicants are aged 16 to 29. Each summer, their training consists of two parts:
- a four-day Cultural Camp administered by Elders of different First Nations and Metis instructed in a manner beneficial to all Aboriginal backgrounds.
- a five-week Basic Military Qualification course administered by military personnel which trains candidates in basic military knowledge, weapons handling, navigation with map and compass, first aid, drill, outdoor field craft, and survival skills.
- Bold Eagle recruits are enrolled in the Primary Reserve at the beginning of the course. Graduates may continue their part-time Canadian Armed Forces career when they return home, although this is not required.
- Lieutenant-General Hainse, Commander Canadian Army, is also the Department of National Defence and Canadian Armed Forces (DND/CAF) Champion for Aboriginal Peoples.
