Thousands in Greater Moncton were left in the dark on Monday night after a widespread power outage.

It affected parts of Riverview and west end Moncton.

At the height of the outage, over 9,000 were without electricity for several hours.

NB Power says an outage in the transmission network is to blame.

A spokesperson tells us services have now been restored. They were back on by around 11 p.m. Monday.
