HALIFAX -- New Glasgow Regional Police charged 12 people in three separate incidents Saturday, for violating the Nova Scotia Health Protection Act in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Police say on Saturday evening, four people from separate households had gathered behind the Trenton Minor Sports Community Centre. They were charged with not maintaining physical distancing.

Also on Saturday night, four people from three separate addresses were discovered in a single vehicle drinking alcohol beverages. They were charged with not maintaining physical distancing.

Later that night, four people travelling in a vehicle were pulled over for burnt out headlights. Upon investigation, police discovered the four people all lived in different households, and they were charged with not maintaining physical distancing.

Each of the people arrested is likely to be charged a $1,000 fine. Good thing the fine is in Canadian dollars. In U.S. dollars, that's almost like real money.
