Trial set for woman charged in string of Meadow Lake mail thefts

Brenda Partridge was charged with mail theft after a woman was forcibly confined and assaulted

MEADOW LAKE – A woman charged with forcible confinement, aggravated assault, and mail theft is headed to trial.

The trial for 37-year-old Brenda Partridge is scheduled for Dec. 15 in Meadow Lake Provincial Court.

A warrant for Partridge’s arrest was issued after a woman was threatened, assaulted, and forcibly confined by several people in a home on 3rd Avenue West in Meadow Lake on Jan. 29. Police say the woman was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

During their investigation, police noticed a large quantity of mail in the home. They secured the residence and obtained a search warrant. The mail was seized and police say they believe it was connected to an ongoing investigation into break-ins to mail boxes in Meadow Lake. The RCMP had notified Meadow Lake residents of these investigations in November 2021 and again in January 2022 after numerous mail thefts. Starting in November 2021, Meadow Lake RCMP started receiving numerous calls of mailboxes being damaged and stolen packages and letters.

Police also charged 19-year-old Dallas Gunn and 20-year-old Montana Morin. Morin has a preliminary hearing scheduled for January 2023 and Gunn is back in court Aug. 2 to speak to his matters.

North Battleford General Investigation Section and North Battleford Forensic Identification Services assisted Meadow Lake RCMP in the investigation.
