Officers quickly responded and one marked cruiser arrived as the tractor was leav- ing the farmers laneway. The two occu- pants refused to stop and attempted to flee down the road.

The stolen tractor was valued at $50,000 and received extensive damage to the front when it left the road- way. The damage to the front axle, engine com- partment and drive transmission could be up to $10,000.

Telemarketer scam The Western Region OPP Criminal Investigation Unit is advising of a potential phone scam after investi- gating a suspicious inci- dent Jan. 16. Investigators discovered a male caller who stated he was a member of Hydro One contacted the potential victim. The sus- pect tried to obtain the MasterCard number by stating the citizen would receive a free cell phone if they provided their card number. The alert citizen hung up on the would-be con artist and called police immediately. Police dis- covered Hydro One had no such promotion ongo- ing and further discov- ered all the contact num- bers the suspect provided were bogus. Western Region Criminal Investigation Detective Inspector Don Birrell reminds everyone, "if it sounds too good to be true, it is." He com- mends the actions of the intended victim and encourages others to do the same. Persons who experience scams such as this are encouraged to call Phone Busters and report it immediately. Phone Busters can be contacted toll free at 1-888-495- 8501.
