At 8 pm on Thursday March 20th, police were alerted to 2
distraught females who were on the railway bridge over Frood Road. On arrival
police coaxed one of the females off the bridge. They could not get the other
female to come off the bridge.
Police Crisis Negotiators were deployed to speak with her. After 30 minutes
they were successful in getting her to come off the bridge.
Members of the public are reminded that in addition to being dangerous,
trespassing on railway tracks is a federal offence under the Rail Safety Act and
can have fines upward of $500. People can also be fined under provincial
legislation for trespassing and fines range from $100-$300, depending on the
province. Criminal Code charges of mischief and mischief endangering life may
also be considered depending on the circumstances.
