South Bruce OPP warning: Beware of local paving scam

The South Bruce Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) is warning the public around a potential local paving scam operating in the area.

South Bruce OPP officers on general patrol stopped several vehicles during proactive duties during the day on November 11, 2026.

Officers discovered the individuals are operating a paving company and were involved in several projects in the Municipality of Brockton. Residents were approached with an offer for asphalt and subsequently signed contracts that may be misleading.

The individuals in this investigation are currently operating a fleet of white work vehicles and are not local to the area.

The investigation is ongoing, and currently no criminal charges have been laid.

Residents are encouraged to only support local reputable businesses, to carefully read and scan any documents before reading, and not to be pressured into agreeing to anything. If an offer seems too good to be true, there is high probability that it is fraudulent.
