This month Rivers Police Service saw an increase in the number vehicles entered and two vehicles were stolen. Police are again reminding people to please lock your vehicles and don't leave anything of value in them. Anyone with information regarding the thefts of a stolen pickup and quad are asked to call Rivers Police Service at 204-328-7430 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-782-8477. They are the business property of a pilot truck service which is based in the 600 block of Third Avenue.
March was another month of violent-free criminal activity with no files opened in the six categories of this Criminal Code section. There has only been one violent crime to date in 2016 and that was an assault. In the seven property crime categories were five thefts under $5,000, one break and enter and two vehicle thefts — the quad and truck mentioned in the opening paragraph. The first quarter of this year has seen police respond to 13 property crimes. The final Criminal Code section is “other crimes” which has six categories; two files were opened in this grouping. Each of those were in the “various other crimes” which includes breaches, public mischief, harassing phone calls, etc. So far there have been six cases in these categories, including one case of fraud.
Federal traffic charges remain at zero for all of 2016 and only one provincial traffic crime was noticed last month — “other,” which could be speeding, an unregistered vehicle, driving without a licence, etc. The first quarter of 2016 has had 14 provincial traffic charges, all in this category. The final traffic section is accidents and none were reported in March and only two as a total for January and February.
Three categories of the Liquor and Gaming Control Act section remain at zero for all three months.
Intoxicated Persons Detention Act (IPDA) was enforced once last month, for a total of five times to date.
The only bylaw enforced last month was for animal control, and that only happened once. In the past three months, the nuisance bylaw has been enforced once and animal, three times; burning and traffic bylaws continue to have zero entries.
Rivers Police Service assisted other agencies four times last month and we had three calls to the former RM of Daly area. Our help was needed seven times in March, which brings the three-month total to 33: 10 to assist the public, 10 to assist other agencies, five finger prints/pardons/providing police reports and eight RM calls. The miscellaneous assistance calls were varied in March with one each of 911, community relations, missing persons (located), Child and Family Services (CFS), found property and sudden death. Two alarms were called in and three other miscellaneous cases were opened, which includes unfounded complaints. Year-to-date totals of this section are four mental health calls, one 911, three community relations, one missing person, five alarms, 10 noisy parties/disturbances, four CFS, one lost property, one insecure premise, three found properties, one sudden death, one trespassing, two sex offender registrations and 17 miscellaneous.
