ESTEVAN - Members of the Estevan Police Service made arrests for an assault and a theft on Friday.
Officers were called to a central Estevan residence on the report of an assault that occurred involving two males. The suspect male was not at the residence upon arrival, but was later found and arrested. He was transported to the police station, where he was charged for the assault and released with conditions to not contact the victim. The 22-year-old Estevan man is scheduled to make his first appearance in Estevan Provincial Court on Jan. 31 at 9:30 a.m.
Police received a report of theft from a local business. Officers attended and arrested a 16-year-old Bienfait male for theft. He was processed and released to a parent with a court date in the new year.
Members attended to a local business for a report of two youths causing a disturbance and possibly committing a theft. Police were able to determine nothing was stolen but the youths were misbehaving. Their parents were to be advised of their children’s behaviour.
Police attended to two unrelated disturbances early on in the day. Officers were able to speak to a number of parties involved and mediated a resolution.
Members received two reports of attempted scams. One of the individuals received an automated messaging saying the Canada Border Services Agency had a package addressed to them that was suspicious. The individual didn’t respond to the message after realizing it was likely a scam. The second call was in relation the complainant being advised that there were warrants for their arrest and their SIN number had been frozen. The individual realized it was a scam and didn’t respond. Police continue to remind the public to be vigilant of any unsolicited calls in relation warrants of arrest, packages, SIN numbers, etc.
