Police say recent reports circulating on social media suggesting there have been attempted abductions at Georgian Mall in Barrie’s north end are “inaccurate.”
According to a news release issued by the Barrie police on Monday, officers and Georgian Mall security services have confirmed the reports are inaccurate and say no such incidents have taken place.
Officers say while no attempted abductions occurred, residents should always be cautious of their personal safety and employees leaving work at night or during less busy hours should use the buddy system.
