It was nearly four in the afternoon by the time statements were taken from all Bay residents involved in the incident. The Officers decided that statements from Hirst and his accomplices would be taken in the Deer Lake detachment of the RCMP, where they would be held in custody.
Two of the police cars left with three passengers in the back seat and two Officers in the front, while Officer Fredricks drove one of the black SUVs with Simon Hirst in the front seat, handcuffed.

As he got out of his car, he was met by Bill, who had been informed by Nanny Dove, that he was coming.
Bill offered his hand.
"Officer Bradley, I believe."

"Mr. Williams."
"Bill. Please call me Bill.
Is there something further that you need?"
"I was wondering if I could talk to you and your wife privately?"
Bill nodded.
"Matty is out back on the veranda. We can go there."
Bill led the way around the house, to the veranda.
Matty stood when she saw the Officer.
"Oh. I didn't know we were having company."
