The RCMP have charged a 33-year-old man from Ingonish, N.S., with mischief for intentionally cutting a subsea fibre optic cable connecting Nova Scotia and Newfoundland, causing over $5,000 in damage. The cable, severed near Aspy Bay on December 24, was described as a crucial communication link. Investigators noted the cable was cleanly sliced, suggesting the use of a specialized tool. The RCMP coordinated with the federal Fisheries Department and Bell Canada during their complex investigation.
