Warrant issued for co-accused in cross-burning

An arrest warrant is out for one of the brothers accused in a cross-burning case in Hants County.

Twenty-year-old Nathan Rehburg’s grandparents are withdrawing the $5000 surety they had posted for him so he could remain free until his trial.

So, as of Wednesday, police have been looking for him.

Luke Cragg, Rehberg’s lawyer, says he’s not sure why the grandparents changed their minds and no reason was given in court Wednesday.

Rehburg and his 19-year-old brother Justin are facing charges of criminal harassment, public incitement of hatred and mischief after a cross was found burning on the lawn of an interracial couple.

They were both granted bail in March.
