Members of the Estevan Police Service have had a number of calls in recent days.

A traffic stop occurred in northeast Estevan on Feb. 24 that resulted in a 25-year-old man having his driver’s licence suspended for 72 hours, due to the result of his breath sample into a roadside screening device. His vehicle was also impounded for three days.

Members were dispatched to a central Estevan neighbourhood on Feb. 23 for the report of a dog at large that attacked another dog while it was being walked by its owner. No injuries were sustained, but the matter remains under investigation. The public is reminded to keep all pets on a leash as per the City of Estevan bylaw. Owners can be held liable for the actions of their pets.

Police attended to a motor vehicle collision in central Estevan that resulted in one vehicle being towed due to the damages sustained. It slid out of control and struck a post. The accident was a result of the quickly deteriorating road conditions due to the sudden heavy snowfall.
