FALL RIVER:  Four assaults and a break-and-enter were reported to police in the past several days in the Fall River, Waverley, and Musquodoboit Valley region.

The reports were posted on the RCMP/HRP Crime Mapping tool online. It can be found at: https://arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=cd5b990f2132430bb2bda1da366f175c .

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.
