Bridgewater Police are investigating an anti-mask rally that took place over the weekend.
According to BPS Deputy Cheif Danny MacPhee, they were made aware of the event last week when the organizers reached out and told them it was their intent to follow all health and safety protocols.
MacPhee says officers were dispatched to monitor the event which took place Saturday. While the officers were on the scene they didn’t witness any infractions.
He added that the group organizing the event had not applied for a traffic permit or rental agreement for Shipyards Laning for the event to take place, but he noted that was not unusual for rallies like this.

Heroin has been found in two Southwestern Nova Scotia counties for the first time in nine years.
This according to a Nova Scotia frontline drug report from the Dept. of Health and Wellness presented this year which states the drug has turned up in police seized powder in both Lunenburg and Yarmouth County this year.
The report notes this is the first time the drug has popped up in these areas since they began tracking it in 2011.
However, local law enforcement and addiction workers in Lunenburg County say they haven’t seen the drug as of yet.
Bridgewater Police deputy chief Danny MacPhee said he doesn’t recall seeing or seizing the drug within the last year, but hearing non-pharmaceutical opioids are re-entering communities doesn’t come as surprising to him.

With two accidents involving pedestrians being struck by vehicles within 24 hours, police are asking drivers to slow down and be mindful when they hit the road.
A pedestrian was struck in a crosswalk Tuesday just before noon on Aberdeen Road and North Street after a vehicle failed to yield for the crosswalk at the intersection.
Incidents like this tend to happen more this time of year due to a number of factors, said Bridgewater Police deputy chief Danny MacPhee.
