Yellowknife (Aug 16/06) - Police are searching for suspect(s) following what they believe was an attempted sexual assault on a girl from Dettah, last week.

The victim, whose age was not released by police, was attacked at a home in the small community outside Yellowknife Aug. 12 between 12:40 p.m. and 1:10 p.m.

Police do not have any suspects at this time.

Stolen credit card used to get cash advance

A 17-year-old is suspected of using stolen credit card information to get cash advances at Yellowknife businesses.

Police aren't sure if the suspect is using stolen credit cards or writing the cards' numbers on slips of paper.

Const. Colleen Werrell said the RCMP received complaints from the uptown Subway and Arctic Jewellers in Centre Square Mall.

Taxi stolen

A 19-year-old man was charged with stealing a taxi from outside the Winks convenient store on Forrest Drive.

The vehicle, which belonged to City Cabs, was stolen around 4:20 a.m. on Aug. 10. The suspect was found and arrested sometime later, said Werrell. Police were unable to say how long the cab was missing.

The same man was also charged with shoplifting after a hat was stolen from Athlete's World in Centre Square Mall between 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. Aug. 9.

Domestic assaults reported

A 47-year-old man is charged with assault after his girlfriend was hit around 10:30 p.m. in a downtown home.

The 27-year-old woman had a black eye and bloody nose following the Aug. 12 attack, Werrell said.

Another man, 44, is charged with an assault the same day, only half-an-hour earlier in Dettah.

A 50-year-old woman said she was hit by a chair but refused medical treatment, said Werrell. The woman reported a cut on her head.

Watch out for counterfeit money

Police say money made between 1969 and 1979 is now a target for counterfeiters.

The bills are from a series called "Scenes of Canada" which are still legal tender.

Each has a distinct picture on the back of the bill: a fishing village on the $100, the RCMP musical ride on the $50, a mountain range on the $20, an oil refinery on the $10, and a fishing boat on the $5 bill.

According to police, only small green dots should glow under a black light instead of the entire bill.

Police said the counterfeit money will also feel different than a regular bill.
