A tactical police team was called to an Estevan hotel on July 31 after reports that someone in one of the rooms may have had a firearm.

The Estevan/Weyburn Joint Tactical Support Team assisted patrol officers at the hotel on the 1100 block of 3rd Street. Neighbouring rooms were evacuated as a precaution.

Police entered an upstairs room but did not locate any suspects. A search warrant was later executed on the room, and several items were seized. No firearms were found.

The Estevan Police Service says its Criminal Investigation Unit is continuing to investigate. No further information is being released at this time.

Police thanked hotel guests who were temporarily displaced for their patience and cooperation. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Criminal Investigation Unit at 306-634-4767 or Saskatchewan Crime Stoppers.

In a separate incident, police received a report of a bicycle stolen from a central Estevan facility. Residents are reminded to lock up bikes and keep them out of sight when not in use.
