Wood Buffalo RCMP are warning Fort McMurray residents about misinformation that has been circulating online.
In a post on Facebook, Alberta RCMP said they were aware of a social media post which stated there was a serial killer in downtown Fort McMurray, however there is “no such investigation”
According to RCMP, spreading misinformation can result in criminal or civil liabilities, as can any kind of “vigilante justice.”
“Citizens should take what is circulating on social media with some skepticism, especially when there has been no official police report or warning issued,” the release read.
