RCMP Searching For Man Who May Do Harm To Himself

Codiac Regional RCMP are currently searching for a man in his twenties who may do harm to himself.

Police responded to a call at 5:30 a.m. on Monday on Shamrock Avenue regarding a man doing damage inside a house and who had assaulted another man, according to police.

The suspect fled the home and was seen by a witness going into a shed where a firearm is believed to have been stored. He then headed into the nearby woods. Police verified that there was no firearm in the shed so the man may have it, said police.

In an effort to locate the man, Codiac RCMP have closed Salisbury Road to all traffic between Edinburgh Drive and Hump Yard Road.

Residents living along this section of road are asked to stay in their homes until advised by police. Police said, residents who choose to leave the area are reminded that, for their safety, they will not be allowed back in past the roadblocks until this situation is resolved.
