Earlier that day, police were dispatched to 5th Street for a domestic disturbance in progress. Officers determined it was a verbal argument and were able to mediate the situation. No further police involvement was required.
Police were also called to St. Joseph’s Hospital in response to a man causing a disturbance. Officers referred the individual to appropriate services, and no further action was taken.
Officers later responded to a report of a suspicious vehicle on the 1400 block of 1st Street. They made contact with the occupants, who had been sleeping in their vehicle while travelling. The pair told police they intended to return to their home province the following day.
A 13-year-old boy was reported missing from the Willow Park Green area. He was located a short time later and returned home safely.
Police also mediated another domestic disturbance. Both parties agreed to remain in separate areas of the residence, and no further police action was necessary.
