West Nipissing police are looking into a big theft in Sturgeon Falls. Inspector Ray St. Pierre says a contractor in the Canal Road area is the victim and the culprits made off with a large amount of tools. They include miter and table saws, cordless tools and boxes of other tools. In a separate incident, police charged a 51-year-old man with impaired driving. An officer on regular patrol saw a vehicle pass through a stop sign and stopped the driver. In talking to the driver, the officer determined that he’d been drinking. In a third matter, police had to deal with an unwanted person at a local bar. St. Pierre say the man was taking drugs forcing a police response to the site. St. Pierre says the man was uncooperative and refused to leave. As a result he was charged with resisting arrest and possession of a controlled substance.
