Cops seize stolen ATV, charge 59-year-old

RCMP release:

Meteghan RCMP executed a search warrant and recovered a stolen ATV as part of an ongoing investigation into stolen property.

On October 25, Meteghan RCMP, assisted by Southwest Nova Street Crime Enforcement Unit (SWN SCEU), executed a search warrant at a property in Saulnierville Station. Officers located and seized an ATV that had been reported stolen on October 24. It will be returned to its rightful owner.

During the search warrant execution, officers safely arrested Donald Joseph Comeau, 59, of Saulnierville Station.

Comeau has been charged with Possession of Property Obtained by Crime Over $5000. He was released pending a first court appearance at Digby Provincial Court on December 8.

“We’re pleased that we were able to get this ATV back to its proper owner, but not every investigation allows for a swift recovery of missing items,” says Cpl. Vince Lacroix, Meteghan RCMP Detachment supervisor. “We continue to encourage people to lock up property like ATVs, bikes, and lawn equipment and store them out of sight.”
