Another pandemic violation charge laid in Sarnia

There was another charge laid in Sarnia over the weekend for breaking COVID-19 orders.

The city's primary control group reported Sunday that a ticket was issued on Saturday, April 25 in connection with a gathering of more than five people, who were not from the same household.

That brings the number of charges laid by city bylaw enforcement to four.  That does not include the number of charges laid by Sarnia police, which currently still sits at one.

City police responded to nine calls about pandemic enforcement violations on the weekend but only warnings were issued.

There have been more than 700 complaints made to the city's information hotline. The majority of the complaints, nearly 600, were sent in by email.

Overall, city police responded to a total of 188 calls for service on the weekend including 11 domestic and family disputes, nine thefts and four motor vehicle crashes. There were also 14 reports of trespassing.
