During the reporting period, police handled 123 calls for service. Of these, 17 were for false alarms, six were liquor tickets issued and four were motor vehicle collisions.
*Also during this week, police were successful in concluding a case from March 17 when some vehicles were damaged. An 18 year old male and a 19 year old male have been arrested and charged. The investigation is still ongoing with additional arrests and charges being anticipated.
*The unusual winter and warm spring have made for some interesting potholes in our streets. As you travel about we urge you to slow down and exercise more caution than normal so that if you have to take evasive action to avoid a road hazard you will not endanger other users of the streets.
*On April 8, police began investigating a complaint of a 37 year old male having been assaulted outside a local pub and the matter is still under investigation.
*On April 7, police handled two unrelated complaints of distraught individuals wanting to harm themselves. In the first instance, a 47 year old female had called the Health Line indicating that she wished to harm herself. Police and EMS attended and the female was transported to the local hospital without further incident. In the second case, a 63 year old male had called the Health Line.
