Coquitlam RCMP warn about parking lot fraud

If you hit someone in a parking lot with your car and that person asks for cash, call police.
That’s the warning Wednesday from Coquitlam Mounties, who say they have had at least three instances of parking lot fraud in Coquitlam since December.
Coquitlam RCMP Corp. Michael McLaughlin says the suspects are on foot and they will wait until a car is backing out of spot.
Then the person pretends to get hit by the car and convinces the driver to pay cash — usually $100 or $200– inst
