Over the past several months there has been an alarming increase in the number of ram raids, and smash and grabs. There are several opinions on why there is such activity. Here are several links which made it to the press: http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/atm-smash-and-grab-suspects-sought-by-calgary-police-1.2912394 http://www.metronews.ca/news/calgary/2016/03/06/police-investigating-ne-calgary-atm-theft.html http://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/calgary-thieves-use-front-end-loader-to-steal-atm-1.2778179 These links are a small sample of what is actually happening. Two things of note are, the bad guys seem to have upped their game by targeting "in the wall bank machines" and secondly, the majority has taken place in Western Canada. As of late, there has been an increase of the incidences in southern Ontario. ATMIA is working on having a central repository for this and any other type of ATM Fraud.

When people purchase one of these cool T-Shirts, designed by Mike Phillips, for $25 they can feed 5 people a $5 meal. Proceeds from this campaign support the Open Arms Cafe and the North Bay Warming Centre. The campaign has two ways to help: You can buy a T-Shirt or you can Sponsor the making of T-Shirts that will then be sold so all proceeds can support these wonderful programs in our city. You can order a T-Shirt through them, or buy them at the Parkside Animal Hospital (Judge/Lakeshore), or simply give us a call at the office (705-495-0907) and we'll likely even be able to deliver to you! The Open Arms Cafe feeds about 150 people every Wednesday at St. John's Anglican Church, which is also home to North Bay's Warming Centre when temperatures drop below -20. Supporting these two programs is definitely worth the shirt on your back! |
