Warrant Issued For Shelburne County Man

Shelburne RCMP say a warrant has been issued for a man who was charged with abducting his baby in 2011. Corporal Nancy Mason says the Mounties are looking for 45-year-old Collin James Lawrence. He didn't show up to his Supreme Court trial earlier this week for child abduction. Mason says Lawrence isn't considered dangerous, but police are concerned and want to find him as quickly as possible.



Lawrence was arrested in 2011 near the New Brunswick border after allegedly taking his newborn child from its mother. He was released from jail on strict conditions and was scheduled for trial Monday. Police say they don't suspect Lawrence is in Nova Scotia and are pursuing a number of leads outside the province.

Shelburne: Water Rates Could Skyrocket

Residents of Shelburne are facing a large increase on their water bill. The town has applied to the province's regulatory board for an increase because the utility is facing a $200,000 shortfall. If approved, water bills in an average household could jump from $820 per year to $1,400. It represents an increase of 70 percent. CAO Dylan Heide says the utility is in the red because consumption has declined and costs over-runs associated with a major line extension project.



Heide says the town could look at reducing the water rates once the utility is in a better financial position. The new rates could take effect on January 1st. However, no dates for a regulatory hearing have been set.
