The North Bay Police Service (NBPS) recovered and returned 27 shopping carts suspected of being stolen, valued at approximately $12,000, from seven local retailers on Oct. 14. The recovery took place on the first day of Operation Cart-nundrum, an ongoing enforcement project led by the Community Response Unit (CRU).

The initiative focuses on recovering stolen shopping carts and returning them to their rightful owners. Officers also laid a criminal charge of Possession of Property Obtained by Crime in connection with the initiative following an enforcement action in the 100 block of McIntyre Street West.

“Recovering and returning 27 shopping carts to seven local retailers on the first day of Operation Cart-nundrum is a practical result for those businesses. Carts are property retailers rely on, and when they’re taken without authorization, it creates costs for them,” said Deputy Chief Robert Norman. “Our focus is on addressing that behaviour, returning the carts to their rightful owners, and taking appropriate enforcement action where the evidence supports it.”

The enforcement project is ongoing as NBPS continues its efforts to address theft and support local businesses and residents.

Local first responders came together at 22 Wing, on October 15, for the second annual Strength in Service Wellness Symposium, an event dedicated to prioritizing mental health and wellness, strengthening resilience, and promoting a culture of support among those who serve North Bay and area.

The symposium welcomed more than 150 attendees and featured 13 community vendors showcasing local services and resources available to support first responders and their families.

“Events like this are so necessary, especially as we continue to recognize the importance of building resilience and supporting members as they navigate recovery from a stress injury,” said Julie Lavictoire, Wellness Coordinator of the North Bay Police Service. “We are grateful to have a space where we can speak openly and vulnerably about the experiences first responders share. These connections help us build bridges between our services and strengthen the support available to all our members.”

The symposium brought together partners from across the first responder community, including North Bay Professional Firefighters , Beyond the Blue North Bay, District of Nipissing Paramedic Services , North Bay Police Service, Chat4Chad , North Bay Jail, North Bay OPP, Military Police, Anishinabek Police Service and North Bay Regional Health Centre

Through shared experiences, practical learning and meaningful connections, the Strength in Service Wellness Symposium aims to help break down stigma surrounding mental health and reinforce that seeking support is an important part of resilience.

Media Release: Two Charged Following ODSP Fraud Investigation

The North Bay Police Service (NBPS) has charged two people with fraud following an investigation into approximately $142,000 in alleged fraudulent Ontario Disability Support Program (ODSP) payments.

In 2024, ODSP initiated an internal investigation into payments made to the accused between Jan. 1, 2019, and Aug. 31, 2024, totalling approximately $142,000.

It is alleged that both accused knowingly failed to disclose information to ODSP regarding their marital status, income, cohabitation and assets. Following the ODSP investigation, the matter was referred to the NBPS, which subsequently opened a criminal fraud investigation.

As a result of the investigation, both accused were charged with Fraud Over $5,000 and arrested on Sept. 22, 2026, without incident.

“Allegations involving the misuse of public funds are very serious,” said Insp. Scott McFarlane. “Financial fraud investigations can take time and require a careful review of records. Our investigators followed the evidence and worked to ensure this matter was fully investigated.”

The names of the accused are not being released due to privacy considerations.

The accused were released on undertakings and are scheduled to appear in court at a future date.

In 1964, Cst. Wilma Marquardt made history as the North Bay Police Service’s first policewoman.

After joining NBPS in 1954, she worked as an assistant to the Chief of Police before becoming a constable. During her probationary year, she earned $4,140 before moving to equal pay with her male counterparts.

Cst. Marquardt served NBPS until 1987, leaving a lasting mark on NBPS history.

This Women’s History Month, we recognize Cst. Marquardt and the women who have helped shape NBPS and pave the way for future generations.
