RCMP release:

Digby RCMP is investigating an assault that occurred on a wharf in Weymouth North.

On August 2, 2023, Digby RCMP responded to a report of an assault and a theft at a wharf in Weymouth North. RCMP officers learned that four people had stolen a lobster crate, filled with lobster, from a boat at the Weymouth North wharf. When the four people were confronted by the property owner, they dumped the lobster back into the water and threw the empty crate at the owner, striking them on the arm. The four people then fled the area in a boat.
