Ghostly cows, disturbances, suspicious youth, thefts keep Annapolis District RCMP hopping
Annapolis District RCMP didn’t have time to slow down Sept. 17 to 24. Things just kept happening, including cows in a cemetery, accidents, parties, break-ins, thefts, and even a slashed tire.
Following are some highlights:
Sept. 17, 2018
