Public Safety Warning

Be on the look-out for propane gas cylinders that have a blue or greenish residue or corrosion appearance on and around the neck of the valve assembly. This discoloration could be a sign that the cylinder once contained a corrosive gas called Anhydrous Ammonia (used in the illegal and dangerous production of methamphetamine).

The Midland Police Service would like to remind the public to lock the doors to their vehicles while they are left un-attended in their driveways and public places.

Locking the doors could prevent the majority of thefts as most entered vehicles are un-locked and very few are actually damaged to gain entry.
