Later the same day at 1:24 p.m. a report was received from Rilkoff's regarding the theft of approximately $250 worth of flowers. A witness observed a vehicle pull up early in the morning before the store opened. They saw a person put some flowers in the vehicle before driving off. The matter is still being investigated.
Police received a report on May 28 at 3:33 p.m. of a vehicle being driven erratically on Hwy 3 between Christina Lake and Grand Forks. The vehicle was passing on double-solid lines and tailgating. Officers located the Alberta driver and vehicle outside of Grand Forks. He was given a violation ticket for crossing a solid double line. No alcohol was involved.
Around 12:50 p.m. on May 29, an officer observed a motorcyclist on Hwy 3 west of town, near Beach Road. The motorcycle was pulled over and checked. The driver, a local resident, was charged with driving while suspended and having no valid insurance. The motorcycle was impounded for 30 days.
Later on May 29 a report was received at 10:30 p.m. of an unlocked bicycle being stolen from a front yard on 77th Ave. The men’s bike was described as red and silver, with the words NEXT on it. It is valued between $200 and $300. There are no suspects at this time.
On May 31 at 3:53 a.m. officers responded to a domestic assault call on 25th St. in Grand Forks. The male was arrested for assault and later released on a promise to appear, with conditions, at a later date.
Later that day, at 6:24 p.m., officers were attending to another matter at a residence on 21st St. when they came across 29.5 grams of marijuana. No charges are being contemplated at this time, but the marijuana was seized.
On June 1 at 12:18 p.m. a hanging flower basket was reported stolen from outside of a Christina Lake business. There are no suspects and no witnesses at this time, but RCMP believe local youth may have been involved, as there were a couple of house parties in the area over the weekend. If anyone has information regarding this, please contact the local detachment.
