As of 9 a.m. today, most of Deer Island is without power.

According to a statement this morning by NB Power, the outage was caused by theft at a substation and affects more than 600 customers across most of the island.

The outage has no estimated end time or date according to NB Power, however individuals are on-site working to restore power.

The Courier has reached out to NB Power for further comment and is awaiting response.
