A few local residents have been "arrested" and are being held at the Humboldt Uniplex until they are able to make "bail".

It's all part of the Canadian Cancer Society's Jail-N-Bail initiative to raise funds for cancer research.

"Jailbirds" being held in "custody" until they come up with their bail are Dan Torwalt, Dean Possberg, Jo-Anne Mullen, Kim Brockman, Brayden Klimosko and James Wasserman.

If you'd like to make a donation to the Canadian Cancer Society and help any one of these individuals hoping to make their bail click here.
