What happened
RCMP said Sept. 3 they were investigating a series of break-ins involving multiple stored modular housing units on the north side of Gjoa Haven along Seal Street. Police said the units were damaged. The RCMP later corrected its release to say the damaged units belong to the Gjoa Haven Housing Association and are future community homes. Source↗
Why it matters
The reported damage affects units intended to add housing in a community where new homes are needed. The RCMP release does not say how many units were affected, the cost of damage, whether repairs have started or whether the damage will delay the homes being occupied.
What happens next
The investigation remains open in the RCMP release. Police ask anyone with information or who saw suspicious activity in the area to contact Gjoa Haven RCMP at 867-360-1111, or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-8477. Source↗
Important details
The RCMP correction distinguishes the damaged Housing Association units from separate modular units for the future Victims of Violence Housing project. Police said those other units were not damaged. Source↗
