Unity RCMP report: Traffic incidents, thefts and fraud under investigation
Unity RCMP received a variety of calls for service during the week of Oct. 28 to Nov. 3. Members responded to a complaint of breach of peace, a theft investigation and several matters involving mental health concerns. Police issued a 72-hour roadside suspension during a traffic stop and transported one individual to Battlefords Union Hospital for assessment under the Mental Health Act.
Officers received a report of dogs running loose in Unity, which was referred to the bylaw officer, and investigated an ATV collision that resulted in no injuries and was reported for insurance purposes. RCMP also looked into separate complaints of fraud and theft, though there was insufficient evidence to proceed in both cases. Police responded to a single-vehicle collision near Unity, with no injuries reported, and the matter remains under investigation. Two missing people were reported and later located. Members also assisted an individual having difficulty obtaining fuel from a gas pump and spoke to another person regarding a mental health matter.
A 29-year-old Unity woman was charged with failing to comply with an undertaking condition after she was found breaching one of her conditions. Officers attended a residence to keep the peace while property was retrieved and conducted a traffic stop involving a prohibited driver, which remains under investigation. RCMP also dealt with an abandoned vehicle near Unity, which the owner later removed, and a complaint of disturbing the peace where the subject was gone upon arrival. Members also responded to one false alarm and two false 911 calls.
In Wilkie, RCMP received a report of a lost wallet that has not yet been located and are investigating a break and enter.
In Macklin, police are investigating a report of a vehicle being damaged and a complaint involving counterfeit money used to purchase items at a local business.
