The first weekend of November kept Steinbach RCMP busy with booze and drug-related arrests.
At 12:44 a.m. Saturday morning, police arrested Armand Delaurier, 40, at the scene of a break and enter at Manitoba Hydro on North Front Drive. He was charged with possession of property obtained by crime under $5,000, other theft under $5,000, possession of methamphetamine, and break and enter. Delaurier was remanded into custody.
Then that evening at 8:49 p.m. the driver of a pickup truck lost control on Road 35 East near the intersection of Old Tom Road and Park Road East. There were three people in the truck and all were taken to hospital. Steinbach RCMP continue to investigate and believe liquor may be a factor.
On Sunday, Nov. 3 at 8:14 p.m. there was a two-vehicle collision on Highway 12 south of Steinbach at Road 31 North. Steinbach RCMP said a 34-year-old woman from Winnipeg driving a Hyundai Accent rear-ended a Toyota Corolla driven by a 55-year-old man from the RM of Hanover. The man and his 51-year-old female passenger were taken to hospital with non life-threatening injuries. The driver of the Corolla was arrested for impaired driving and provided breath samples three times the legal limit.
Steinbach RCMP received 55 calls for service in the week leading up to Sunday night.
