Did the 11 homes have their doors kicked in and searched by RCMP and firearms taken????? while people were gone. Just wondering
A new charge should be added to the books. Screwing up other peoples lives that aren’t involved with your brain dead BS!
5 years on the rock pile!
limited details in the story but kudos to the RCMP for the patience and professionalism … no one hurt and the ‘male suspect’ may now be able to get the help he needs … to some of my fellow posters, I sure hope your neighbours are more generous to you if you ever need a break than your comments would suggest that you would be to them … life is too short :)
Gee no one killed, amazing.
Well poor training and conduct has given them a reputation or haven’t you noticed.
