The Nova Scotia RCMP have arrested nine people for disobeying a court-ordered injunction and continuing to block logging roads in Digby County in an effort to protect what they say is an endangered mainland moose habitat.
In a release, the RCMP said they attended a site on Langford Road in New France on Tuesday and took four men and five women into custody for civil contempt of an injunction order. They were released from custody and will appear in court at a later date.
