ABBOTSFORD — Abbotsford Police say they’ve apprehended several offenders on outstanding warrants this week before bringing them to court.

In a tweet Wednesday morning (Mar. 21), Abbotsford Police say they located and arrested six offenders on outstanding warrants before bringing them to justice.

Charges range from break and enter, uttering threats, mischief, breach, and driving while prohibited. Unfortunately, many individuals facing charges aren’t coming to court on their designated dates.

“Unfortunately, more and more offenders are failing to appear in court,” AbbyPD tweeted.
