Mayor: Community "Shaken" By Upper Chelsea Incident


The mayor of the Municipality of Lunenburg calls it a disturbing case too close to home. Police are searching for two men who have been charged with forcible confinement and sexual assault relating to an incident with a 16-year-old boy in Upper Chelsea. RCMP say 47-year-old David James Leblanc and 31-year-old Wayne Alan Cunningham are believed to be hiding in Lunenburg County or Halifax County. Don Downe says the community has been blindsided by what's happened.



Downe says these types of incidents happen in society, but believes the community is still safe to live in. Anyone with information on the location of the two men is asked to contact police.
