RCMP Report: Several B&E arrests

Several other cases from the detachment’s 21 break and enter investigations resulted in goods stolen. Tremblay said it’s likely a small number of people are committing many of these types of offences, but added that there are still plenty of individual cases that are crimes of opportunity. There are also a number of situations with vacant garages and lots.

“Sometimes it might just be a homeless person looking for a place to stay, other times it’s people going into vacant looking to cause mischief,” he said.

In another arrest, police detained a 24-year-old man who reportedly stole a kayak from a business on Railway Ave East on June 20. The property was recovered and the detachment is investigating possible connections to previous break-ins.

“He may be [involved] to a couple of others in that business area,” Tremblay said. “There’s other charges pending, but not enough information yet at this point.”

In another incident, officers arrested a 39-year-old man at the scene of a reported break-in at a business on the 900 block of 101^st St. on June 16. The accused will appear in court on July 25.

“He’s not originally from the area, but we’ve had dealings with him since he’s come into town,” Tremblay said.

Other break and enters include:

A business on Railway Ave East the morning of June 16. Two suspects reportedly attempted to gain entry into a fenced compound, but nothing was taken.
Another business on Railway Ave East on June 19. Two BBQs and a spa were reported stolen.
A garage on the 1200 block of 106^th St. early Tuesday morning, where a suitcase welter was among items stolen.

A garage on the 1300 block of 95^th St. in North Battleford between June 17 and 18. A suitcase with clothing was among the items reported stolen.
A business on the 800 block of 104^th St. over the previous weekend. Two vehicles were reported stolen, a grey 2001 BMW with no plate and a grey 2018 Chevrolet Cruze (Sask License 682-HUT).

Other files

There were 19 mental health investigations, nine traffic collisions, 12 various traffic charges, and two individuals charged with impaired driving.

In one case, 33-year-old Steven Littlepoplar was charged with impaired driving after the vehicle he was operating struck the median on Highway 4 in Battleford on June 18 and he then walked away from the scene. After being identified by witnesses he was arrested and remanded into custody due to other outstanding issues, making his first court appearance on June 20.

Additionally, a 21-year-old woman is facing charges of impaired driving and driving while prohibited, after being observed by a member loudly yelling an order at a drive-through menu. This occurred on Railway Ave East on the morning of June 18, where the accused was found to have a blood-alcohol level almost twice the legal level. She is scheduled to appear in court on Aug. 8.
