ESTEVAN - Members of the Estevan Police Service have handled numerous calls in the past couple of days.

The EPS received a report Monday of a female causing a disturbance at a local business. Members attended and determined that the female lived out of town and was trying to obtain a ride home.

A three-vehicle collision was reported from the intersection of Sixth Street and 13th Avenue. Two of the vehicles had to be towed from the scene and minor injuries were reported by occupants of the vehicles. Estevan EMS and the Estevan Fire Rescue Service also responded. The investigation resulted in one of the drivers being charged under the Traffic Safety Act for failing to obey a red light.

A suspicious male was reported to have been parked in a neighborhood for about a week. Members spoke with the individual and it was learned that he was residing in the area. The complainant was updated and no further action was required.

A lost wallet was turned into EPS.

Several bags containing an unknown substance were located by a passerby in the central part of the city. The packages were turned into EPS and determined to be illegal substances. They were subsequently destroyed.

Police received a report Tuesday of a break-in at a vacant building in south Estevan. Members searched the building and determined that nobody was present inside.  Some property damage was noted on inspection and the matter is still under investigation.
