Early Morning Disturbance Leads to Arrest in Empty Suite - Brandon Police Sunday Report

Unlawfully in a Dwelling House

Early Monday morning, police were called to a west-end residence for a disturbance.  A neighbor indicated that there was noise coming from the adjoining suite and that suite should be empty.  When police arrived, they located a 20-year-old female inside.  The investigation determined that she did not have lawful authority to be in the suite and was removed without incident.  She was charged for being unlawfully in a dwelling and was later released with a Court date and conditions not to attend that residence.

The quarterly rebate will go to Canadians who filed their income tax while living in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, and all four Atlantic provinces.

The payments vary by household size and province, while those in rural areas get a top-up.
