ESTEVAN — The Estevan Police Service is seeking the public's assistance with a case stemming from May 5.

While attempting a traffic stop, members had a man on a motorcycle flee from them. The incident occurred on 13th Avenue at Eighth Street at around 10:45 a.m. on Sunday.

Anyone with information is asked to call EPS or Saskatchewan Crime Stoppers.

A report of an individual who is stealing power from a residence was received the same day. The matter is under investigation.

Members also dealt with a report of a wallet and other items that were stolen from a vehicle. A credit card from the wallet was used at multiple locations around the city. The matter is under investigation.

Earlier last week, members were called to a dispute between a landlord and tenant in the north end of the city on May 3. Officers were able to mediate the issue.

Police arrested a 37-year-old woman, after she was found to not be in compliance with her conditional sentence order. She attempted to resist arrest by fleeing on foot. The woman was held in custody over the weekend and was to appear in court on May 6.

The owner of a vehicle filed a report after noticing damage to their vehicle. It appears someone may have keyed the vehicle while it was parked near the mall. The matter remains under investigation.

Police also responded to a domestic disturbance on the south side of the city. As a result, a 20-year-old Estevan man was arrested and charged for assault. He will make his first court appearance in June.

On May 4, police received a report of property not being returned to the owner. The complainant was advised to attend and provide a statement.

Officers located a 45-year-old man in breach of his release order. The man was remanded in custody and was to appear in court on May 6.

A traffic stop for speeding resulted in the male driver testing positive for THC on the roadside screening device. He was issued a 72-hour driver's licence suspension and the vehicle was impounded. 

Members also dealt with a report of a suspicious man walking near the railway tracks towards the west end of the city. Officers located the man and spoke with him.

Police responded to 58 occurrences over the weekend, including calls for service relating to uttering threats, theft from motor vehicle, flight from police, assault, impaired driver and breaching conditions of a release.
