Police Charge Three With Breaking Public Health Rules

Regional Police say they fined three people in two separate cases for violating public health orders over the weekend.

In one case, police say they got called to a home on George St. in Sydney yesterday when a woman reported an unwanted person at the home.

Police say they tracked down the 48 year-old man and found he’s from Victoria County.

He was fined nearly $700 under the Emergency Management Act that bars any non-essential travel outside a person’s municipality.

He was also charged under the Liquor Control Act for public intoxication.

In another case, police say they got a call about a TV stolen from Superstore in Glace Bay on Friday.

A 41 year-old River Ryan man and a 56 year-old New Waterford man were charged with theft in the case and both were also issued a summary offence ticket carrying a fine of $2,000 for failing to self-isolate from each other.
