Mayor Addresses Crime Concerns After Torbay's Recent Thefts
The residents of Torbay's Indian Meal Line neighborhood are facing a new challenge: a surge in break-ins and thefts. One long-time resident, who has lived in her home for 42 years, has been particularly affected by this wave of criminal activity. She shared her story at the last town council meeting, expressing her concerns and seeking solutions.
The resident revealed that the perpetrator is known to her, and the illegal activities have so far targeted subsidiary buildings, not her primary residence. She explained, 'The thefts have been occurring in sheds and garages, but these areas contain valuable equipment, including tools, which are highly sought-after items.'
Mayor Craig Scott, whose family has deep roots in the Indian Meal Line area, acknowledged the issue. He assured the community that they are taking action, stating, 'We've been in constant communication with the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary (RNC) regarding this matter and will continue to do so.'
This proactive approach is a testament to the mayor's commitment to addressing the community's concerns. As the situation unfolds, the residents of Torbay await further updates and hope for a swift resolution to this crime wave.
