On Sept. 2, Neepawa RCMP conducted a roadside stop of a quad in Neepawa. A female driver was unable to produce any registration for the quad. Police conducted a check of the quad based on the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and were informed that the quad was stolen. As a result, the quad was towed and impounded. The owner of the quad was able to produce a bill of sale from a used vehicle dealership in Winnipeg.
At this time, it does not appear that the current owner was aware that the quad was stolen, however, is now out of a quad that he had purchased legally. No charges have been laid as the owner was unaware that the quad purchased was stolen. Anyone found in possession of stolen property can be charged under the Criminal Code with Possession of Stolen Property. Due to the amount of Break and Enters presently going on in the Province, individuals who plan on purchasing, or have purchased, any vehicle or property, can go online to the Canadian Police Information Centre (CPIC) website and perform a search of a VIN and/or Serial Number. If you receive a positive result, please contact your local RCMP Detachment for assistance. The website to search vehicles and property can be found at www.cpic-cipc.ca
On Sept. 5, Neepawa RCMP received a call to the Number 5 Store in Riding Mountain in regards to a shoplifting complaint. It was reported that two individuals were caught on camera stealing items from the store. Police attended and viewed the video footage from the store. Upon leaving the store, one suspect was seen driving past the store in a vehicle. The vehicle was located and a female was arrested and taken into custody. Police later attended another residence in Riding Mountain and located a male who was also seen on the video. Matthew Reddaway of Dauphin was arrested for the theft. Checks on Reddaway also showed that he was breaching conditions of his Court Order. Matthew Reddaway was charged with theft, two counts of breaching conditions of his Probation Order and one count of breaching conditions of his Undertaking.
On Sept. 12, Neepawa RCMP attended a residence in Minnedosa to execute a warrant of arrest on an individual for breaching conditions of his release. Once at the residence, police noted that the individual was inside and refusing to answer the door for police. As a result, another warrant was issued for police to enter the residence. The warrant was granted and police entered the residence and arrested David Bold of Minnedosa without incident. Once in the residence, police noted drugs and drug paraphernalia in the residence. Another Search Warrant was drawn up and approved. A search of the residence was conducted and police located drugs and drug paraphernalia in the residence. As a result, David Bold was charged with three counts of failing to comply with condition of his Recognizance and Possession of a Controlled Substance.
As schools resume classes this month for the start of a new school year, a reminder for all motorists to pay extra attention for kids walking to and from school. As Neepawa has no designated speed enforcement areas in the school zones, do drive with more due care and attention. Also, if you come across a school bus stopped on the side of the road and/or highway, with its lights flashing and stop arm extended, you are required to stop and wait. Failure to stop will result in a fine of $673.65.
