ESTEVAN —Recent weather resulted in a number of calls for service for the Estevan police.

On Dec. 20, members responded to four separate motor vehicle collisions. In all cases, vehicles were damaged. Two of the vehicles had to be towed at one of the locations. One of the accidents was a hit-and-run at an east-central Estevan department store. The fourth incident was a result of a truck sliding onto a street from a school parking lot in northeast Estevan.

No injuries were sustained in any of the collisions. The public is reminded to reduce speed throughout the city due to the slippery road conditions.

The same day, a driver in medical distress was forced to take his vehicle off of the street and onto the shoulder. EMS and police arrived at which time the unconscious driver was revived and treated on scene before being transported by EMS to hospital for further assessment.

The EPS received a report of a scam involving Amazon. The caller advised that an amount had to be paid for an iPhone. Fortunately, no money or information was given. The public is reminded that Amazon or most other organizations do not do business in this manner. The public is also reminded to call and report such scams to the Anti-Fraud Centre at 1-888-495-8501.

On Dec.22, the EPS received many reports regarding vehicles stuck in the snow in southwest Estevan. The public is reminded to avoid areas in and around the city that are prone to being impassible with significant snowfall amounts as we’ve been experiencing.
