Local Police Very Busy Over Long Weekend

While many enjoyed the river this weekend -- the police were straight out busy.

57 calls were made to District 1 RCMP throughout Charlotte County from Saturday to Monday.

Sgt. Bob MacKnight tells Tide News the had 9 checkstops and issued 20 tickets for a variety of offences -- but there were no fatal collisions, and none that caused injury.

MacKnight does say they have seen, however, an increase in property related offences like break and enter, theft, and mischief, with 3 such calls coming in this morning alone.

If you have any information on these crimes, you are asked to call local police in St. Stephen @ 466-7030 or in St. George @ 755-1130.
