Woman allegedly drives into parked truck

A 52-year-old woman was stopped by police last Friday after she allegedly crashed her car into a parked truck on Cameron Street in Hudson.

She was driving with a blood-alcohol content three times the legal limit, police said.

According to Sûreté du Québec spokesperson Bruno Beaulieu, the driver was not injured when she crashed into the unoccupied truck.

Officers administered a blood-alcohol test and the driv- er was released with a promise to appear in court. In St-Lazare, police arrested two men on March 25 after they tried to cash false cheques at a bank on Ste-Angelique Road.

Bank employees called police after a man presented a cheque that they believed to be forged, Beaulieu said.

Officers arrived at the bank and while they were still on the scene a second man came to the counter and tried to cash another forged cheque, Beaulieu said.

The two men, 20 and 37, were arrested and appeared in court in Valleyfield on charges of attempted fraud. Police in St-Zotique seized 100 cases of contraband cigarettes that were found in a box truck on 72nd Avenue early in the morning on March 24.

A citizen surprised two women as they were unloading the truck on the residential street near the St-Lawrence River.

The two immediately abandoned the cigarettes and truck and took off on snowmobiles, Beaulieu said.

Police seized both the truck and the cases of cigarettes.
