HEATED DISPUTE BETWEEN COUPLE

On May 7, East Hants RCMP responded to a call for service after it was reported that an elderly couple were involved in a heated dispute inside the restaurant.

On arrival, officers learned that the couple were visiting Canada from England and had stopped at the Subway for a bite to eat when an argument ensued.
