ESTEVAN — The Estevan Police Service received a report of a 13-year-old who left home without the consent of her parent on Sept. 10.

Members spent some time looking for the youth, who was located and spoken to. She ended up spending the night at a friend's place and was to connect with family on Monday prior to school.

From Sept. 8-10, the Estevan Police Service dealt with 47 occurrences, including complaints of suspicious persons and vehicles in different areas of the city, unwanted persons in licensed premises and in businesses, reports of possible impaired drivers, harassing communications, and theft under $5,000 from a local business.

Members charged an Estevan resident with driving while prohibited after a traffic stop in the Nicholson Road area. The vehicle was impounded, and the driver will appear in provincial court to answer to the charges at a later date.

Police are also investigating a complaint of a man uttering threats at a business.

On Sept. 9, members responded to a complaint of a suspicious person in the Westview area. The report was of a man walking around the neighbourhood. Police attended and located the man in question. It turned out that he was a resident of the area and out for a walk. There was no further concern.
