Multiple Daysland businesses report break-ins Leslie Cholowsky Editor with files from Cpl. Trent Cleveland
Killam RCMP members responded to 60 calls for service from Thursday, Nov. 21, to Thursday, Nov. 28. RCMP were required to attend a 911 hangup in the Heisler area to determine there had been no emergency. Police must respond to all 911 calls under new protocols, whether accidentally dialled or not. Seven abandoned vehicles were reported to police during this period, all were breakdowns, none were related to criminal activities. RCMP were called to euthanize an injured deer. Police dealt with three complaints of assault. In Hardisty, members investigated what was determined to be a consensual fight between individuals. Another incident occurred in rural Flagstaff which turned out to be a dispute between siblings, with no charges laid. Charges are pending from a third complaint, again in rural Flagstaff between two adults, which may include breach of conditions. Killam members assisted the Grand Prairie parole office seeking an individual released from custody and thought to be residing in this area. Killam also assisted the probation office regarding three outstanding warrants regarding a file originating in our area, however the person no longer lives in the region. Police responded to a breach of the peace complaint, which turned out to be a verbal dispute, members attended and kept the peace. Six Daysland businesses reported break and enters over the week. All files are actively under investigation and being followed up on. Surveillance video has been obtained showing two male suspects. Cst. Jacob Ott is the lead investigator in these incidents. A report of a break and enter in Lougheed is under investigation; video shows two suspects breaking into a business. A break and enter incident in Amisk has charges pending. Police were called to Forestburg where an intoxicated male customer was upset. Charges are pending against an individual for driving with undue care and attention. A well publicized police pursuit of two suspects believed responsible for a break-in in Hanna did not travel through the Killam Detachment’s area of service, but three members from the detachment assisted with the pursuit, which resulted in an individual being taken into custody.
