A 3-year-old boy is dead after he was hit by a vehicle that was backing up in a farmyard.

The Manitoba RCMP says in a release that officers from the Pembina Valley RCMP received a report Wednesday evening of an unresponsive toddler at a farm located approximately 11 kilometres southwest of Roland, Manitoba.

Officers say that the initial investigation has determined that boy had wandered away from a group of children when he was struck by a pickup truck that had been backing up at the time of the collision.

A Winnipeg man is facing several charges after police allege that he sexually assaulted a teenage boy in early March.

The Winnipeg Police Service says in a release that they received a report of a 16-year-old male that had been sexually assaulted in the Inkster Gardens area on March 8.

The teenager had left a bus stop near Old Commonwealth Path and Doctor Jose Rizal Way when he was approached by an unknown male who started an inappropriate conversation and repeatedly fondled him before leaving.

Almost two dozen people are facing several charges after a massive investigation led to a large network involved in importing drugs and guns into Manitoba. Police are also asking for help in locating two men wanted in connection to the investigation.

The Manitoba RCMP says the investigation began in 2018 after an RCMP criminal analyst noticed some trends regarding the international importation of drugs into Canada. "When investigators realized they were onto a large-scale domestic operation, Project Divergent was born," a press release from the RCMP says.

An Estevan man facing several trafficking charges has been released by a Justice of the Peace and will appear in court in early May.

The Estevan Police Service announced they arrested 25-year-old Brandon Tremblay on Saturday. He was found with substances believed to be methamphetamine and ketamine.

This came as a result of an investigation involving members of the EPS and the Estevan Police K9.
