This identification by Shelburne Police resulted in two other police services putting out warrants of arrest as well.

Remember to always call police immediately…. even for minor incidents or simply suspicious situations…. In partnership with our community the police can better prevent or solve crimes. This means immediate notification of even the most minor or simply suspicious events. The sooner police are notified the better chance potential crimes can be averted, potential criminals can be identified and completed crimes can be solved. Too often people wait for the next morning, or even wait for a chance meeting of an officer to report a suspicious person, car or a minor event. The police work 24 hours a day, seven days a week – and it is never a bother to call them. You never know what information may be the key to solving or preventing a crime so please don't hesitate to call! Call 9-1-1 for emergencies or when a crime is in progress. Call 519-925-3312 immediately with any information. Or leave an anonymous tip through crimestoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS(8477). Your tips could result in a cash reward! |
