On Sept. 24, RCMP Dispatch received two 911 calls from a woman who wanted assistance locating her husband’s glasses and health card. Police attended, found the items, but gave the caller a firm warning that misuse of the 911 can result in charges.
The caller was grateful for the assistance and advised she was sorry for the trouble.

on September 25 at 8:30 a.m. a concerned citizen reported witnessing a vehicle driving recklessly on Highway 1 in Mount Uniacke. An immediate patrol was made and the suspect vehicle located.
The 52-year-old man exhibited signs of impairment and was arrested for impaired driving. The driver blew over twice the legal limit and was charged.
On September 28, police received a complaint of a vehicle trying to pass an ambulance which was proceeding to an emergency with it’s lights and siren’s activated. Police were unable to intercept. This serves as a reminder that it is a chargeable offense not to yield to an emergency vehicle with its lights and sirens activated.
Police received a complaint of a large group of students loitering and causing mischief at the Milford Esso parking lot on Sept. 29. In particular, some students were teasing a dog inside one of the vehicles, causing the animal distress. Officers made a patrol and upon arrival police found the youth behaving.
A contributing factor was the severe congestion caused by students and motorists accessing the business during the school break time.
Students are reminded they are accountable for their behaviour and may face consequences ranging from being banned under the Protection of Property Act, to Criminal Code charges for mischief or other related offenses.
