Camper stolen in Neepawa, recovered in Rivers

On July 1, Rivers Police Service (RPS) received a report of a possible stolen camper trailer located at a residence in the Town of Rivers. The investigation that followed revealed the trailer was stolen from a storage facility in Neepawa on June 23.

On Tuesday, Sept. 1, 1936 a new CPR Semistreamlined Train pulled into Neepawa’s CPR station. The occassion was a big one, with a crowd appearing in large numbers to take in the sight.

Members of RPS attended the residence and located a male and female in the trailer. Both were subsequently arrested for Possession of Property Obtained by Crime. Further investigation determined that the Vehicle Identification Numbers (VIN) were either damaged or completely removed.

A 41-year-old male and a 28-year-old female from Brandon MB, were released with an Appearance Notice to attend Court at a later date.

The Rivers Police Services would like to thank the members of the public that aided the police in the recovery of the stolen trailer.
