12:07 pm police responded to a break and enter to a trailer in the Port Elgin trailer park. An employee of the park was doing a routine inspection of the trailer park and observed one of the trailers had been broken into. A window was broken to gain entry.

16 Oct 2014,

3:38 pm police received a report of a fail to remain motor vehicle collision that occurred in the Independent parking lot around noon. A large dent and scuff was noted in the driver’s rear side quarter panel.

7:29 pm police responded to a motor vehicle collision between a car and a deer on Concession #2. Moderate damage was done to the vehicle and the deer did not survive the collision. The lighting between 6:30 and 7:30 pm is very poor, extra caution needs to be taken when driving at this time. Most times with a deer you have no warning at all, apply your brakes and try to avoid a collision.

18 Oct 14,

10:44 pm police stopped a vehicle on Hwy #21 for traffic enforcement. Upon approaching the vehicle a baggie of marihuana was noted near the vehicle and the vehicle smelled of burnt marihuana. Two 18 year old Saugeen Shores males were charged with possession of marihuana.

19 Oct 14,

3:26 am police were called to a home in Port Elgin where an intoxicated male was trying to gain entry. A 35 year old Saugeen Shores was arrested for public intoxication and spent the night in the cells.

If you make a mistake and drive into someone’s vehicle in a parking lot or on the street please call police and report the collision. We have many Fail to Remain collisions where the responsible driver leaves the scene. Granted sometimes there may be occasions where the driver does not know he or she struck another vehicle but I doubt that number is very high. Do the right thing, call the police and they can locate the owner of the vehicle you struck and take care of the damage.
