ESTEVAN - Members of the Estevan Police Service arrested and charged a 43-year-old Oxbow woman for impaired driving by drug on Monday night, after a complaint was received.
Her driver’s licence was suspended indefinitely and the vehicle she was operating was impounded for 30 days. She will appear in court in March to answer to the charges.
Police arrested a 23-year-old Saskatoon man for mischief after a complaint from a local hotel. He was lodged in cells and will appear in court at a later date.
Members also apprehended a 33-year-old man for causing a disturbance at St. Joseph's Hospital. He was lodged in cells and will be released later on Tuesday.
Police attended to a residence in the south end of the city for a complaint of a break and enter. Investigation by officers on scene found the report to be unfounded and the homeowner was warned of her actions, as it was determined she had caused damage to the home herself.
Also, over the past several days, the Estevan Police Service has received multiple complaints of a scam commonly referred to as the Grandparent Fraud. This type of scam involves the caller pretending to be a grandchild and needing money for legal issues, and requesting the grandparent send money via Western Union or other financial institutions.
The EPS reminds the public to not provide any information if they are not completely confident in somebody's identity and to report these occurrences.
