Men and Police

cbsa: In these cases, no contracts were signed before the work as the prices were agreed upon verbally, police said, according to CBC. Police described the workers as young, white men who spoke with an Irish accent. Ottawa police issued a warning on Sept. 20 about complaints of contractors who promised inexpensive paving work but charged a much higher price when the work was done — and pressured homeowners to pay. Four men were arrested in the case on Sept. 24, and $70,000 in cash was seized, the CBSA said. CBSA spokesman Chris Kealey said the men were all from the same country but did not say which one. The men, who were working without permits, were charged under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act, the CBSA said. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
