NEWS RELEASE

SAULT STE MARIE
POLICE SERVICE

*************************
The Sault Ste. Marie Police Service would like to inform the public that we have received several calls in the last few days regarding an individual going door-to-door within the city soliciting donations on behalf of ALS.

We believe this activity to be fraudulent.

The ALS Society has been contacted and advises that they are not currently soliciting donations in Sault Ste. Marie, nor do they solicit door to door.

Although at times fundraising efforts do occur the persons performing these duties will always be easily identified with photo identification badges.

Should you have encountered such a situation we ask that you contact Cst. Teresinski of the Break and Enter Unit at 705-949-6300 ext 126.
