47 year old man arrested and charged with three counts of violating the Quarantine Act: New Westminster police

New Westminster police say a 47 year old man has been charged with three counts of violating the Quarantine Act.

A statement from police says Makhan Singh Parhar was arrested after the city resident refused to comply with a mandatory 14 day self-isolation period following a trip to the United States last month.

Police say a violation ticket was first issued but when the man repeatedly left his home, he was arrested November 2nd.

Parhar is being held in custody and his next court date is set for November 16th in New Westminster.
