A radio station in Swan River announced on social media that they would be patrolling in station vehicles after receiving threats to the business and break in attempts from an unknown person.  

The social media post claimed that the local police detachment is not doing their job to protect the business and that one of the radio patrol members had a licence to carry a firearm.

The mayor of Swan River and RCMP have condemned these proposed actions and the police contacted the station to inform them that promoting vigilante justice on social media would not be tolerated.

Swan Rivers Mayor encouraged residents to allow RCMP officers to do their jobs since they are trained to deal with criminals properly.
