FALL RIVER/GOFFS/BEAVER BANK: Local police officers with Halifax Regional Police and RCMP Halifax Regional Detachment out of Lower Sackville were kept busy the past few weeks with assaults and theft-related offences.
According to HRM Crime Mapping, police attended to three assaults, one theft from vehicle, and one vehicle theft call.
The assaults occurred between Windsor Junction; Beaver Bank; and at Halifax Stanfield Airport.
Crime Mapping is an interactive site that will be updated daily at midnight with incidents of five specific crime types – robberies, assaults, break and enters, thefts of vehicles, and thefts from vehicles. These crime types were selected given that people can take steps to protect themselves from becoming a victim if armed with information about what’s happening in their community.
To ensure privacy, the crimes are plotted on the mid-point of the closest block and are not associated with specific civic addresses so as not to identify a person or an address.

The people involved and the potential victim were not identified and had departed the area.
