VEHICLE REPORTED STOLEN – BUT IT WAS TOWED BY POLICE 

On December 12 East Hants RCMP received a complaint of vehicle theft. The owner reported their vehicle had broken down overnight on highway 214 in Elmsdale. 

The crime was quickly solved when officers recognized the missing vehicle as the one which had been towed by an officer earlier in the day. While on patrol, an officer came upon the vehicle sitting precariously in the lane of traffic and creating a hazard.

Officers have the authority to tow any vehicle left standing on a roadway, and in situations where the vehicle poses a hazard, that authority is exercised post haste. 

Police wish to remind the public, if a vehicle must be abandoned along the highway, call the local detachment to advise and seek assistance.
