ESTEVAN — At around 3 a.m. Monday morning, an Estevan Police Service member located two individuals in a vehicle in the downtown area.
Both were arrested for possession of methamphetamines and possession of fentanyl for the purpose of trafficking. A number of items were also seized as proceeds of crime. The driver of the vehicle is also being investigated for driving while impaired by drug. An investigation is ongoing.
Officers responded to 86 occurrences from July 6-9.
They issued a number of tickets under the Traffic Safety Act for offences including speeding and creating unnecessary noise with a motor vehicle.
One of the cases was a minor accident that occurred in the north end of the city on Thursday. A vehicle was cut off by another vehicle and had to hit the curb in order to avoid striking the other vehicle. Minor damages were caused due to the impact with the curb. The matter is still under investigation.
Other calls for service included fraud complaints, harassment and taking a motor vehicle without consent. The latter occurred Thursday, when police received a report of a youth driving a parent's vehicle without a driver's licence and without the parent knowing they had possession of the vehicle. Police had the opportunity to speak with the youths involved and warn them about the consequence of taking an automobile without permission.
Police are also investigating multiple assaults that are alleged to have taken place on Saturday night. One person has been charged and two others are being investigated.
Police also have laid charges against an Estevan individual for public mischief and another person for obstruction.
Police charged a local individual for impaired driving after he was stopped on King Street Friday night.
More than 50 mandatory roadside breath tests were also completed over the weekend.
