Subject: Ontario Provincial Police Department warning. The following message is claimed to have been received by the managers of retirement residences in the Niagara Region. My name is Captain Abraham Sands of the Ontario Provincial Police Department. I have been asked by local authorities to write this e-mail in order to get the word out to car drivers of a very dangerous prank that is occurring in numerous cities. Some person or persons have been affixing hypodermic needles to the underside of gas pump handles. These needles appear to be infected with HIV positive blood. In the Simcoe area alone there have been 17 cases of people being stuck by these needles over the past five months. We have verified reports of at least 12 others in various provinces around the country. It is believed that these may be copycat incidents due to someone reading about the crimes or seeing them reported on the television. At this point no one has been arrested and catching the perpetrator(s) has become our top priority. Shockingly, of the 17 people who were stuck, eight have tested HIV positive and because of the nature of the disease, the others could test positive in a couple years. Evidently the consumers go to fill their car with gas, and when picking up the pump handle get stuck with the infected needle. IT IS IMPERATIVE TO CAREFULLY CHECK THE HANDLE of the gas pump each |
