The Chief and Council have established a $5,000 reward for any information leading to the arrest and conviction for the recent acts of violence against our community members. OCN has witnessed an increase in criminal activity that is unprecedented in our Nation’s history. Acts of violence are occurring more frequently, with youth often initiating random attacks on others.
These acts have included the use of various weapons, and the suspects are committing these crimes in groups of more than one. Manitoba First Nations Police are currently investigating these incidents and are asking for the public’s assistance for any witnesses to come forward and share confidential/anonymous information.
The public is asked to please report any tips to the anonymous TIPS line. Your information is very important and could help reduce criminal activity and violence against our own community members.
Finally, we ask all parents to ensure their children/youth are at home and abiding by the curfew by-law, 1998-01. Ultimately, parents are responsible for the care and custody of their children at all times.
