Police Report
February 13 – 26
The following are some of the files that were opened with the Winkler Police Service during this time period.
February 16
An employee at the Pineridge School reported that she had mistakenly left her cell phone in a room at the school. When she returned to pick up the phone it was gone. Video surveillance from the hallway showed a student exiting that same room and appeared as though he was putting something in his pocket. When asked if he had found a phone the student stated that he had not. Police spoke to the student at his residence, and he again said that he did not take the phone. While speaking to the student police dialed the number for the phone and could immediately hear the phone vibrating somewhere inside the house. The student then retrieved the phone and handed it to police. This was dealt with by way of a verbal caution to a youth.
