Shoplifting, drug charges
A man was arrested for shoplifting at Wal-Mart on Monday, Nov. 10, according to RCMP. Wal-Mart security staff tried to stop the man, but he resisted, so they called police. When the RCMP arrested the man, he had drugs in his possession and was found to have breached his probation conditions, the police stated. The man is well known to police for property crime and drug offences, according to the RCMP. Numerous charges are being recommended.
Impaired driving
A woman was arrested for impaired driving in the 38700 block of Britannia Avenue on Wednesday, Nov. 13. The woman was stopped by police for possibly being impaired behind the wheel and was uncooperative with police, so she was arrested, according to police. She eventually provided samples of her breath, which resulted in the charge of impaired driving.
