ESTEVAN — The Estevan Police Service has announced arrests and charges in connection with recent snowmobile and quad thefts.
According to the Feb. 5 police report, posted on Feb. 9, the EPS arrested a 38-year-old Midale man for the theft of two snowmobiles reported stolen in late January. According to the EPS, he was lodged in cells and made a first appearance in Estevan Provincial Court the following day to speak to the matter.
Also on Feb. 5, EPS members arrested a 39-year-old Estevan man for possession of a stolen quad that was being investigated. He was lodged in cells and also appeared in court the following day to speak to the matter.
A 48-year-old Estevan man was arrested that same day for breaching his conditions of no contact. He was released from custody and will appear in court at a later date to speak to the charge.
During a traffic stop in the downtown area, EPS members arrested three men for a number of offences. The EPS said the motorist was found to be driving while impaired and was subjected to an evaluation by a drug recognition expert. He was also determined to be a suspended driver and the licence plate was deemed to be a dealer plate being use incorrectly.
Several charges for possession of illicit tobacco and possession of alcohol in a vehicle were also issued to the occupants. One of the passengers was found to have warrants from the Saskatoon Police Service, resulting in his arrest on those matters. All those involved were released with tickets and future court dates to speak to the criminal matters.
