An eventful weekend in Brandon, Manitoba saw a series of incidents unfold, ranging from a motor vehicle collision to thefts and breaches of peace. The police were kept busy with a myriad of criminal activities.

On Saturday morning, a pedestrian was struck by a reversing truck in a parking lot, resulting in serious injuries that required the “jaws of life” for rescue. The victim, a 67-year-old man, was promptly taken to the hospital for treatment. Meanwhile, the Brandon Police Traffic Services launched an investigation into the accident.

Amidst the chaos, two individuals were apprehended on unrelated arrest warrants – a 30-year-old male and a 31-year-old male were both detained for pending court appearances.
Furthermore, the police delved into two theft cases involving local businesses. One incident captured on video led to the arrest of a 50-year-old man for stealing a cell phone, while a 65-year-old man faced charges for repeatedly leaving a store without paying for items.
Another disturbing report involved an intoxicated woman found in distress, under the influence of drugs. A 45-year-old man was also arrested for causing a disturbance while intoxicated and lodged until sober.
The following day, a break-in attempt at a business was thwarted, leading to the arrest of a 37-year-old male. Additionally, a breach of release order case emerged when a 28-year-old male was reported for violating a no communication condition.
Later that same day, a break-in was reported in progress, involving two males and a female. The suspects were swiftly apprehended, with charges laid against them for break and enter and disguise with intent. It was revealed that the suspects had targeted someone known to them.
For those with information on unsolved crimes, the authorities urged the community to contact Brandon Crime Stoppers, offering a reward for valuable tips that contribute to solving crimes. The weekend’s events underscored the importance of vigilance and cooperation in maintaining public safety.
