Fraud Warning – Home Furnace Inspection Scam
The Winnipeg Police Service have received numerous complaints from homeowners concerning aggressive and potentially fraudulent sales practices for home heating systems. 
 
The common theme is that a sales person will make cold-calls to random residences. There may be one or two individuals, male or female. These individuals may have uniforms with corporate logos as well as business identification. The concern is that these individuals are attempting to gain access to the residence by stating that they are performing furnace inspections, or asking to check the operating status of the homeowner's heating system. 
 
Neither private companies, nor their employees, have any legal authority to enter a home to perform furnace inspections. These individuals are sales people whose ultimate goal is to entice residents to make purchases of home heating products. 
 
Manitoba Hydro staff will go door-to-door for various reasons. Hydro employees carry official Manitoba Hydro identification with their name and photo and will not pressure homeowners to gain entry, even for inspections. 
 
The public is reminded that they can deny entry to any individual that seems suspicous, and are asked to call the police non-emergency number at 204-986-6222 if they require information from the Winnipeg Police Service.
 
Additional information is also available at: https://www.hydro.mb.ca/frauds_and_scams.shtml

News Release - Winnipeg Police Service

Winnipeg Police Service

 

Friday, April 21, 2017
 

 
Community Notification
The Manitoba Integrated High Risk Sex Offender Unit (MIHRSOU) is a joint forces unit of the Winnipeg Police Service and the RCMP. MIHRSOU today provides information regarding Timothy Frederick KOLTUSKY formerly known as Kevin Scott STEPPAN, 32 years of age, a convicted sex offender who is considered high risk to re‑offend in a sexually violent manner. Females are at risk of sexual violence.
   
KOLTUSKY will be released from Stony Mountain Institution, on April 21, 2017. He is expected to take up residence in Winnipeg.
   
KOLTUSKY has previous convictions for sexual assault with a weapon, assault causing bodily harm as well as many other criminal offences.  Although KOLTUSKY participated in sex offender treatment programs while in prison, he is still considered high risk to re-offend.  Females are at risk of sexual violence.
   
A previous notification was made in August 2010 for Kevin Scott STEPPAN.  STEPPAN has legally changed his name to Timothy Frederick KOLTUSKY
   
Background information:  
Timothy Frederick KOLTUSKY is a 32 year-old male with a criminal record for sexual offences as well as numerous other criminal offences.
   
In August 8, 2005, KOLTUSKY approached a sex trade worker. He took her to a secluded area along the riverbank in Winnipeg where he punched and kicked her numerous times causing injuries and attempted to throw her into the river. Two days later, he approached another sex trade worker. He took her to a secluded area where he began touching her in a sexual manner. He produced a rope which he put around the victim's neck. A struggle followed in which KOLTUSKY punched the victim, ripped off her shirt and bra and pulled down her pants. The victim was able to escape. KOLTUSKY was arrested a few days later and was remanded in custody.
   
Between September 18, 2006 and October 31, 2006, while in custody at Headingley Correctional Institution awaiting court on the above described offences, KOLTUSKY made numerous harassing telephone calls of a sexual nature to a woman.
   
At his sentencing hearing on these offences (sexual assault with a weapon, assault causing bodily harm and harassing telephone calls), in February 2010, KOLTUSKY was declared a Long Term Offender, received a jail sentence of 9 months (in addition to the equivalent of 7 years and 6 months pre-sentence custody credit), and given a 10 year Long Term Supervision Order.  KOLTUSKY's was subsequently convicted of breaching the Long Term Supervision Order in October 2012, and received a sentence of one month (in addition to five months pre-sentence custody credit); and, in May 2013 and received a sentence of nine months (in addition to four months pre-sentence custody credit).  On October 24, 2014 KOLTUSKY was convicted of two additional counts of breaching the Long Term Supervision Order and attempt obstruct justice, and received a total sentence of two years and six months (in addition to six months pre-sentence custody credit). He will be released after serving that sentence on April 21, 2017.
  

While in custody, KOLTUSKY did participate in sex offender treatment programs. However, he is still considered a high risk to re-offend. Females are at risk of sexual violence.
