Renfrew Detachment of the OPP officers in the Renfrew area have made arrests after a massive investigation which left hundreds of mailboxes smashed or stolen over the weekend of Feb 2 to 5.
The damage occurred in McNab Braeside, Horton, Admaston and Greater Madawaska Townships.
On Tuesday, February 6, six males were arrested for these offences. Five males aged 17 will be dealt with through the Extra Judicial Measures (EJM) Program. The EJM provides an effective and timely response to offending behaviour outside the formal court system. Charges can still be laid if the young person does not complete the program.
The 18-year-old adult was released with no charges at this time. He will be completing a similar informal program or face charges.
The Community Street Crime Unit (CSCU) is leading the investigation. If you were a victim and have not yet reported please call the OPP at 1-888-310-1122.
