Police department in Whatcom asks for ‘nefarious behavior to cease’ due to coronavirus
Schools, restaurants and bars may be closed. The Canadians are considering shuttering the border. And it’s almost impossible to find an available pack of toilet paper or a bottle of hand sanitizer anywhere.
But one Whatcom County law enforcement agency is still hoping some good can come out of the novel coronavirus pandemic — or at least some good humor.
A Facebook post by the Blaine Police Department Monday, March 16, read: “Due to local cases of #COVID-19, BPD is asking all criminal activity and nefarious behavior to cease.”
The post went on to thank all criminals in advance for their cooperation.
“We will certainly let you know when you can resume your criminal behavior. Until then .... #washyourhands (and) #behaveyourself,” the post concluded.
The post drew 120 reactions and was shared 66 times in its first 40 minutes.
