A couple of teams of young people carried out some mischievous activities in the city within the past week, which has prompted reaction by the Estevan Police Service (EPS).

On Nov. 14, EPS members were asked to look into a complaint of three young people trespassing on residential properties, knocking on doors and then fleeing.

On that same day, police were asked to look into another prank where five young people strung toilet paper and clinging cellophane wrap around a vehicle.

These young people have been identified and will be spoken to by police about their actions.

On more serious issues, EPS members established an investigation into the theft of fuel from a local trucking company. The early indications are that between 1,500 and 2,000 litres had been stolen from the site around Nov. 12.

Anyone with further information regarding this theft is asked to contact EPS at 306-634-4767 or the Estevan detachment of the RCMP at 306-637-4400.

On the night of Nov. 14, EPS members conducted several traffic stops that led to a series of charges that included impaired driving and driving while blood-alcohol levels were over .08 per cent.

On that same night, EPS members arrested a man for being intoxicated in public after he was picked up outside a local lounge. He was lodged in cells until sober.
