On September 27, 2024, PSD Phox apprehended a suspect in relation to a number of attempted residential break and enters. The man was charged for the crimes and was brought before the court.
On September 12, three individuals were apprehended by the team for various criminal offences, including theft of a motor vehicle, assault and mischief (damage to property). One of these individuals was wanted in relation to charges of domestic violence. All three were arrested and brought before the court.
Earlier in the month, Happy Valley-Goose Bay RCMP responded to a report of an individual experiencing a mental health crisis who had ran into a wooded area and required medical attention.
