The fire is believed to have started at approximately 4:30 p.m. AT this afternoon.

The vehicle was seized and towed and the driver's licence was suspended for seven days.

The victim was pronounced dead at the scene.

The shooting was one of at least two others in the city overnight.

The agency says their investigation into the May 16 incident showed officers were justified in using the police service dog and there are no grounds for charges against any officer.

Anyone with information on either of the stolen boats is asked to contact their local RCMP detachment or Crime Stoppers.

All of the occupants in the home were able to escape before the home became fully engulfed and one nearby home was evacuated due to the risk of the fire spreading. 

Nova Scotia’s police watchdog is investigating after a man was bitten by a police dog during an assault investigation in Chester, N.S.

Nova Scotia RCMP say the incident happened at 1:49 a.m. Sunday along Highway 103 in Lakeside.

Chester was found stranded on a beach near Tofino in 2014. His death leaves just one cetacean living at the facility.
