The annual Pollett River run was held on the weekend near Elgin.

Hundreds of people floated down the river…many in colourful costumes trying to stay afloat in makeshift vessels as they celebrated spring. Some were maybe doing a little too much celebrating as RCMP arrested two people and towed 14 vehicles.

RCMP Constable Cornelius Brown told the Times and Transcript the annual river run is a major event for the RCMP. They arrested one person for impaired driving and another for assault with a weapon. 14 vehicles were also towed because they were parked on the wrong side of the road blocking emergency vehicles. He added signs were posted.

Volunteers from the Petitcodiac Watershed Alliance was cleaning up the several tonnes of debris left by participants.

RCMP are asking the public for help in finding a 32 year old Cap-Pelé woman.

Robyn Savoury was last seen leaving her residence with another woman driving a dark-coloured SUV at 5:30am on April 22. She’s been out of contact since. A message posted to her Facebook account the day before said she was headed to Moncton but it’s possible she may have gone to Ontario.

Savoury is 5’4″, between 130 and 150 pounds with bright pink hair and Mom and Dad tattoed on her right shoulder. She has three butterflies and a Winnien the Pooh head on her left shoulder.

Anyone with information on Savoury’s whereabouts is asked to contact the Shediac RCMP.
