NEWS RELEASE
SOUTH SIMCOE POLICE
***********************
On Saturday, April 28, 2018 around 11 p.m., South Simcoe Police Service officers were called by a grandmother who was concerned about her two young grandchildren, both less than five years old. The children were in the care of their 30-year-old father at his Bradford home.
When officers arrived at the home, they found it extremely filthy, in disarray and a heavy odour of (what was believed to be) fresh marijuana in the children's bedroom. The source of the odour was located in the children's bedroom. An open container of (suspected) marijuana was emitting the odour and was easily in reach of the children as well as other drugs and paraphernalia being readily accessible.
The father was charged for possession of the drugs and given a court date in Bradford Criminal Court. The Children's Aid Society was notified and the children were placed in the care of family members.
