Snowmobile fatality in Kearney, robbery arrest in West Nipissing

Almaguin Highlands OPP report a 42-year-old man is dead after a snowmobile accident just outside Algonquin Park.

It happened yesterday afternoon on Hassard Lake in the town of Kearney.

Police say the man, who is from the Woodstock area, was riding in an area where there was open water when he fell in.

He was pulled from the water but was unresponsive and pronounced dead at the scene.

An investigation into a West Nipissing business being robbed by a man wearing a mask in mid-February has resulted in an arrest on Friday.

West Nipissing Police report a 20 year old Sturgeon Falls man is facing eight charges in all, including robbery, disguise with intent and resisting arrest.

He was kept in custody for a bail court.
