Unity RCMP also received a complaint of assault, which remains under investigation. Officers attended the sudden death of an 84-year-old man from the Scott area. The death was not considered suspicious.
Officers did a well-being check at the request of a concerned citizen and responded to a Mental Health Act complaint. Emergency Medical Services took the person to hospital for assessment. Police also spoke with someone about a child welfare concern.
A complaint that someone was not complying with an undertaking did not proceed due to insufficient evidence. A complaint of harassing communications was unfounded. Officers spoke with a person after a report of someone acting suspiciously near a business.
Police attended a report of an injured moose at the side of the highway and euthanized the animal. A SaskPower report of a damaged power line did not proceed due to insufficient evidence.
