Wildlife Incidents

Peterborough Police want to make the public aware after several disturbing incidents recently.

In the last few weeks, officers have received several reports of squirrels being found with arrows in them. 

The incidents have been happening in the Western Avenue and Chamberlain Street area of Peterborough and it’s believed the weapon is a smaller compound bow and arrow (similar to photo below).  

Peterborough Police remind residents of the dangers associated with shooting a high-velocity arrow in a residential neighbourhood including potentially injuring a person or other animals, both of which could result in criminal charges. 

If you come across any injured wildlife, please call the Ministry of Natural Resources at 1-877-847-7667.  

Anyone with information can call Peterborough Police at 705-876-1122 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Crime Stoppers

Crime Stoppers is a civilian, non profit, charitable organization that brings together the community, the police and the media in the fight against crime.

Crime Stoppers provides citizens with a vehicle to anonymously supply the police with information about a crime or potential crime of which they have knowledge. Cash rewards are offered to people who call the program and their information leads to an arrest.
