, , , , , , , ,

Viral photos of a man wearing a nazi uniform and eyepatch while pushing a stroller in Cole Harbour have prompted a police investigation.

A spokesperson for the RCMP said they’re aware of the post and have received complaints.

They’re not ruling out pressing hate-related charges, but said it’s too early in the investigation process to know for sure if the costume was hate-motivated.

Police said they can’t yet independently confirm if the photos are real, but have reason to believe they are, and are treating them as such.

Perth-Andover officer exerted no excessive force, SiRT finds

, ,

An RCMP officer committed no criminal offence during a response to a Perth-Andover home, that’s according to an investigation by the Serious Incident Response Team.

They were called in to investigate after officers received reports of a domestic disturbance in October 2025.

“Three RCMP officers from the Perth Andover detachment responded to a 911 call related to a domestic disturbance and physical dispute involving multiple people. The house and some of its residents were known to police. Two officers entered the home and one remained outside to speak with the 911 caller. In the residence, one of the officers approached an adult male to detain him, as he was believed to have physically assaulted the 911 caller,” a news release stated.

The man reportedly resisted arrest, and officers used a taser and struck the man twice before he was finally placed in handcuffs.

“Between the CEW deployments, an adult female in the house was yelling and approached the officers with her arm raised. The officer pointed his CEW in her direction and advised she would be tased if she did not step away,” the release continued.

The woman allegedly locked herself in the home where a child was sleeping. Once she came outside, she was placed into handcuffs, but alleged that officers used excessive force.

SiRT says they found no indication of this in their investigation.

RCMP arrest two in connection with death of a child in Eskasoni

, , , , ,

A 37-year-old woman and 42-year-old man, both from Eskasoni in Cape Breton, are facing charges for causing the death of a child.

On August 5, 2024, RCMP responded to a report of a child who had died suddenly at a home in Eskasoni. The incident was then referred to the Northeast Nova RCMP Major Crime Unit (NEN MCU), which took over leading the investigation.

Following a complex and nearly two-year investigation, the NEN MCU made arrests on May 20, 2026. They say the pair failed to “provide the necessities of life” with criminal negligence causing death.

Both were released on conditions by the court, and they’re scheduled to be back at Eskasoni Provincial Court on June 30.

The RCMP says multiple teams were involved in the investigation, including Forensic Identification Services, Digital Forensics Services, the Legal Applications Support Team, Eskasoni RCMP, and the Eskasoni General Investigation Section.

According to officers, no further information is being released at this time.
