Between Oct. 24 and Nov. 3 there were nine false alarm calls responded to by the Killam RCMP detachment, and 15 motor vehicle collisions reported.

On Oct. 24, a male contacted Killam RCMP and reported that he had found a 20-gauge shotgun in the middle of Highways 13 and 36.

He stated that he found it around 09:30 while he was driving on Highway 13. He also noted that there was a live round stuck in the shotgun. It appeared as though it had fallen out of a vehicle.

RCMP are asking that if anyone has lost their shotgun they should attend the RCMP detachment with a description of the shotgun so it may be returned to the owner.

She noted it to be a white GMC four-door truck with dried mud covering the vehicle. She saw that the driver was an older male. She had left the table and then heard someone trying to open her door. She ran upstairs and called the police. RCMP made patrols and stopped several vehicles matching the description of the truck, but the drivers did not match. At this time there are no suspects.
