No. 3: ‘Cruising For Trouble’
The woman told her Manitoba Public Insurance adjuster that her vehicle had been stolen. What she didn’t know was that Manitoba Public Insurance and the Winnipeg Police Service routinely share information.
Truth was, the vehicle was not stolen ─ the woman willingly gave the vehicle to a male friend, who police had attempted to stop during a traffic stop. Attending officers had clearly observed the woman sitting in the passenger’s seat.
The woman was later arrested and pleaded guilty to public mischief. She was given 12 months probation, and a conditional discharge.
