Two City of Kawartha Lakes Police Service officers are currently in self-isolation following suspected exposure to COVID-19, the service said Monday.
Police say on Saturday two officers arrested a man for an alleged domestic assault in Lindsay. The service says the officers — members of the uniform branch — were removed from duty following their interaction with the accused. “The officers will remain off-duty in self-isolation while they are tested for COVID-19,” Sgt.
Dave Murtha said. The suspect was later charged with assault; mischief to property under $5,000; break and enter; theft under $5,000; possession of property obtained by crime under $5,000; and two counts of failing to comply with a recognizance of bail.
