RCMP charges Little Harbour man for dangerous operation following dispute
Halifax District RCMP has charged a man for dangerous operation of a conveyance following a dispute on the water in Little Harbour.
On May 16, police were notified of a dispute in Little Harbour around 5 a.m. that morning. Investigation determined that the incident had occurred on the water between two vessels.
