Man impersonates cop
A Brandon man was arrested after allegedly pretending to be a Winnipeg police officer to get information about his ex-girlfriend.
The man is accused of repeatedly calling a business on the 3100 block of Victoria Avenue, claiming to be a police officer from Winnipeg who required video surveillance from the business. He also went to the business Monday, making the same request to employees.
On Tuesday, the man went to another business, this time one on the 2500 block of Victoria Avenue, claiming to be a police officer from Winnipeg who was looking for video surveillance.
Police later learned the 31-year-old man was looking for information on his ex-girlfriend. He is under a no-contact order with the woman, yet continued to attempt to make contact with her daily.
The man is also wanted on charges of criminal harassment.
Brandon police say the man is not a police officer and told the Sun that when he was at the businesses, the man was not wearing a police uniform.
Employees did not believe the man was credible, and he was not successful in obtaining any surveillance footage, BPS said.
Police located and arrested the man Tuesday. He was charged with criminal harassment, failure to comply with a release order and two counts of impersonating a peace officer.
Unwelcome guest
A 30-year-old man was arrested after allegedly entering an unoccupied hotel room at the Colonial Inn on Tuesday.
The man was not a registered guest of the hotel and police arrested the man.
He will appear in court on July 24 on a charge of break and enter and committing mischief.
Broken window
Police arrested a 16-year-old boy in connection to a window that was damaged at a school on the 300 block of Third Street on April 26.
Security footage showed a boy throwing a rock through the window. Police identified the teen suspect and arrested him on Tuesday.
The boy will appear in court on Aug. 1 for a charge of mischief under $5,000.
