Cobourg Police – Suspicious Person (Issuing A Complaint to OCPC)

In Editor Choice, Local

Suspicious Person

On Thursday, September 20, 2018, Cobourg police responded to a call of a suspicious male who was observed by staff around 6:00 am acting strangely in the area of C.R. Gummow School. The male also approached a vehicle but did not make contact with the occupant.

The male was described as mid 30’s, white, dressed in all dark clothing, possibly a jean jacket and tall. Anyone with information relating to this incident or other similar incidents is requested to contact the Cobourg Police Service.

If anyone has any information about this case please contact the Cobourg Police Service at 905-372-6821 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

 

Comment – Today’s Northumberland will be issuing a complaint with the Ontario Civilian Police Commission against the Cobourg Police for their lack of professionalism.  It is of the utmost importance to keep the public informed of missing person’s, criminal activity and suspicious persons.  In this release a male is acting “strangely” around a school and the police hold it back from the public because they have issues with Today’s Northumberland.  A total disservice to the community they represent.

The management of the service needs to be accountable to the citizens of this town immediately.  This release should be handed out to anyone and everyone in the community who asks for it.

Regarding the Cobourg Police Services Board.  They should be held accountable as well.  And finally, so should the councillors who are currently holding office.  All are aware of the issues.  How many have asked questions about it.
