Arsonist targets Bank of Montreal
An arsonist recently hit the Bank of Montreal in Iqaluit, setting off a sprinkler
system that flooded the bank's main foyer, causing serious damage.
Around midnight on Aug. 11, police responded to a call about a fire at the
bank, which closed as a result of damages. An investigator said the arsonist
set off the sprinkler system by lighting a bulletin board on fire.
Anyone with information about the incident can phone the Iqaluit RCMP detachment
at 979-0123.

Court clerk charged with trafficking
A Nunavut court clerk from Iqaluit faces drug trafficking charges after police
arrested him earlier this year.
Andrew Dunford, 22, who appeared in court on Wednesday, was working for Nunavut
court services when police arrested him in early July.
Court management said Dunford no longer works there for "staffing reasons"
that were unrelated to the charges.
Dunford next appears Aug. 30.
