Staff Sergeant Kim Hillier, the Antigonish RCMP’s Detachment Commander says the arrest took place after significant investigation by their teams, but it wouldn’t have been possible without support from the public.. Hillier adds the tips and information provided by the Antigonish community were an important factor in the safe arrest.
Nickerson appeared in Antigonish Provincial Court on Thursday and remains in custody pending future court appearances.
