    The RCMP is warning tipsters about making false reports to Crime Stoppers. This after recently receiving serious fake tips.  In cases where serious false reports are made to police which cause an urgent police response and the unnecessary deployment of additional police resources, anonymity can be revoked. Those responsible for making the false report could face criminal charges including public mischief.
