================================= During the early morning of June 2, 1981 and while working an unschedualed double shift, a former Police Constable was setup, shot 5 times and left to die on the grounds of Louis J. Robichaud High School in Shediac, New Brunswick. His assailant then stole the Police Cruiser, turned the emergency roof lights on and headed east eventually leaving the Town of Shediac. The officer shot managed to call the dispatcher on his portable radio and gave him his location. Responding with a 10-4, calls were made, however the chief of police intercepted a witness picked him up and took him to another location. Thirty minutes later a second call was made to the officer, who could not respond, and then help came.

================================ members of the R.C.M.P. had met it, heading in the opposite direction. The Police Cruiser was driven between several cottages in the Cap Bimet area and then off a cliff into the Northumberland Strait. A Cottage area resident reported hearing gun shots being fired early that morning. A revolver found on the seat of the cruiser was never properly identified neither was it sent to any Crime Lab. The Police Cruiser was then towed from the location where it was found to an unsecured area, the Shediac Fire Department. Two or three days later the Cruiser was opened again and the revolver was given to the Chief of Police. In the fall of 1987 Crime Stoppers filmed and then aired this story across, N.B. Under treats from the Town to disbanding the police force, the Chief eventually resign. The force was later disbanded. This Case however remains Unsolved. |
