BURLINGTON, ON.

It looked as if it was like getting caught up on the paper work.  Detective Eric Schwab, Oakville Criminal Investigations Bureau, took a crew from the Oakville District Strategic Support Team , in conjunction with the 2 District Offender Manager, and proactively sought out individuals in the Oakville area who were the subject of outstanding arrest warrants. Over the course of this initiative three Criminal Code warrants were executed, eight individuals were arrested, and seven were charged with a total of 18 criminal offences.

If this pro-activity worked that well in Oakville – can Burlington be far behind.  Some of your less than savoury friends might be leaving town for a while.
