The EPS received a driving complaint regarding a female driving erratically in a bay in the Trojan subdivision.

She was cautioned about her behaviour.
Police received a report of an assault at a school playground. A young male assaulted another male youth. The subject of the complaint was too young to charge criminally, so members addressed the assault with the youth and his parents.
