Unity RCMP report multiple incidents across Unity, Wilkie and Macklin

RCMP responded to a range of incidents across the communities of Unity, Wilkie and Macklin in recent days, including fraud complaints, traffic-related matters and requests for assistance.

In Unity, police are investigating a reported fraud and a hit-and-run incident that resulted in vehicle damage. Officers also received a complaint of a suspicious individual near a residence, but patrols were unable to locate the person described.

Police were asked to conduct a wellbeing check on a family member, though the request was later cancelled after the individual was located. During a storm, officers responded to a report of a vehicle in the ditch and transported the occupants to a local hotel for the night.

RCMP also attended a two-vehicle collision within the town. No injuries were reported and no charges were laid. A reported break and enter at a residence was determined to be unfounded, and police noted one false alarm during the reporting period.

During traffic enforcement, officers issued a 60-day roadside suspension. In a separate incident, police attempted a traffic stop, but the vehicle fled at a high rate of speed. Officers were unable to locate the vehicle, and its information was shared with neighbouring detachments.

In Wilkie, RCMP received a fraud complaint; however, there was insufficient evidence to proceed with the investigation. Officers also conducted a wellbeing check at the request of a family member. CN Police reported a railway crossing malfunction in a rural area near Wilkie, which was noted for information purposes.

In Macklin, police are investigating a complaint of assault with a weapon. RCMP also responded to a Mental Health Act-related call and spoke with the individual involved.

Several investigations remain ongoing.
