Gas Leak in Downtown Apartment



Good evening! I’m Chris Gunn and I’m here with your news at nine.

Residents in a downtown apartment were evacuated today when a gas leak was detected in one of the apartments. Fortis Gas was called to investigate the leak. According to the company website, a leak was found and residents were allowed to return to their homes. Residents are reminded to leave the area immediately and contact the gas company if they smell rotten eggs.

A jewelry store on 5th avenue was robbed last night. The thieves broke into the building through the back door and disabled the alarms. The display cases were smashed and around $50,000 worth of jewelry was taken. The police are asking any witnesses to contact them.

The Lion’s Bridge was closed for repairs today. Construction crews have begun repairing the bridge. Motorists are advised to find alternative routes. The bridge will be closed until further notice.

And that’s today’s news at nine.
