Portage RCMP are looking for your help to identify two suspects involved in a break-and-enter at a business in the 1800 block of Saskatchewan Avenue West, today, on February 7 at 12:30 a.m.

Two suspects entered the business by breaking the glass in the door with a rock. They caused damage inside the business and stole several items. 

Police used dogs who tracked the people to Crescent Road where they lost the scent. 

One of the suspects covered their face, but wore a coat that is easily identifiable. It is a black coat with bold colours of yellow, red and blue.

A 29-year-old driver will be answering to a number of charges after a dangerous Saturday afternoon drive.

This past Saturday just before 1 p.m., an RCMP officer was patrolling Highway 1 near Portage la Prairie and observed a vehicle approaching, from behind at a high rate of speed. The vehicle would eventually pass the police cruiser and the radar would record a speed of 170 km/h in the 110 km/h zone. The officer would pull the vehicle over and it was quickly discovered more laws were being broken than just speeding.

A blaze occurred at a home on Walker Avenue in Neepawa on Thursday night. 

Neepawa RCMP responded to the call along with EMS and the local fire department. Upon arrival, responders found a 68-year-old man dead at the scene.

Community safety was top of mind when the Manitoba RCMP, Brandon Police Service, and Manitoba First Nation Police Service joined forces and deployed to the Central Plains area of Manitoba. The goal was to reduce violent crime in communities by strategically identifying targets through intelligence and crime statistics, and then targeting those areas and prolific offenders.

On August 29, at 7:20 p.m., officers from Pembina Valley RCMP received a report of an ATV (side-by-side) collision involving a 6-year-old boy on a scooter on a private roadway located 16 kilometres north of Pilot Mound.

The initial investigation has determined that the 6-year-old was riding his scooter and came around a blind corner when he was struck by the ATV, being operated by a 19-year-old male. The child was taken to hospital in critical condition where he later succumbed to his injuries.
