Estevan police responded to several incidents on February 11, including a vehicle theft, a property scam, reports of erratic driving, and arrests related to court violations and shoplifting. A vehicle stolen from the city’s industrial area was recovered in Lampman by RCMP. The vehicle contained items believed to be stolen. Both the vehicle and its contents are being processed by forensics, and the investigation is ongoing. Officers investigated a missing cellphone from a local business. The investigation determined that an individual had accidentally taken the phone along with a reusable shopping bag. The phone was returned to its owner, and no charges were laid. Police attended a complaint about an unwanted guest at a residence. The individual left before officers arrived, and no further action was taken. A report was received about a vehicle traveling at high speed and driving erratically on Kensington. The registered owner has been identified, and police are following up to determine the driver’s identity. A 33-year-old Estevan man was arrested for failing to comply with court-ordered conditions after being found in a vehicle with someone he was prohibited from contacting. He was held in custody and is scheduled to appear in court. Police, in conjunction with Estevan Fire & Rescue, attended a small kitchen fire in the Centennial area. The fire was extinguished before emergency personnel arrived, and no injuries were reported. A 21-year-old Estevan man was arrested following a shoplifting investigation dating back to December. He was processed and released on an undertaking, with a future court date set. Officers received a complaint about a vehicle operating near Estevan Comprehensive and Spruce Ridge Schools. The vehicle was identified, and the registered owner will be cautioned under the Traffic Safety Act. Extra patrols are expected in the area. Police responded to a report of a potentially impaired driver. The caller said the female driver had consumed marijuana prior to operating a vehicle. Officers located the vehicle and conducted a roadside oral fluid test, which showed no presence of cannabis in her system. Finally, a property scam was reported during the night shift. The victim attempted to rent a property in Estevan and was instructed to pay using Apple gift cards online. Police say the matter remains under investigation and remind the public that requests for payment via gift cards are always a scam. They advise that anyone renting property should verify the renter and view the property in person before providing personal information or funds.
