A 33-year-old Unity woman and a 32-year-old Unity woman were each charged with assault in separate incidents after police received complaints of disputes.

Members acted as mediators in a child custody dispute on two occasions and responded to two Mental Health Act complaints, speaking with the subjects in each case. Police also located a missing person and reunited a child found walking alone with a guardian.

RCMP issued a verbal warning for trespassing and notified CN Rail after receiving several reports of a railway crossing malfunction in Unity. CN Police separately reported a crossing malfunction in a rural area south of Scott.

Police received complaints of harassing communications, identity theft and a hit and run causing vehicle damage, but in each case there was insufficient evidence to proceed. A disturbing-the-peace complaint was reported for information only after the complainant declined to proceed.

Members conducted two wellbeing checks at the request of concerned citizens, assisted an individual having difficulty obtaining fuel, and responded to a report of a small black bear near town. Police also handled two traffic complaints and one false alarm.

A 21-day roadside suspension was issued during a traffic stop. A complaint of uttering threats did not proceed after the complainant declined.

Members attended a residence with Child and Family Services for a child welfare check and made referrals to the bylaw officer after two separate complaints of dogs running loose.

Unity RCMP are also reminding residents that certain crimes can now be reported through the Online Crime Reporting tool, a platform designed to make reporting more convenient and to shift workload away from front line officers.

The tool can be used for fraud and scams under $5,000, property damage under $5,000, lost or stolen property under $5,000, traffic complaints where the vehicle cannot be identified, and harassing phone calls or electronic communication through social media or text. It does not cover threats of violence or sextortion.

If the incident has a witness or a suspect, police are asking the public to report it to their local detachment instead. The tool is available at ocre-sielc.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/saskatchewan.
