MAN HELD FOR ATTEMPTED THEFT OF GRADER IN PORTAGE
Portage la Prairie RCMP arrested a 29-year-old man on Monday morning after receiving a report of someone trying to steal a municipal grader from the city’s public works garage. When officers attended the scene, they saw that the grader had been crashed into a fence, and the suspect was spotted close by. The accused, identified as Broderick Tkachyk, was arrested and taken to the Portage la Prairie RCMP detachment, where he allegedly got into an altercation with officers and EMS personnel and was said to be under the influence of drugs. He was then transported to a hospital for an evaluation of his non life-threatening injuries. Tkachyk was charged with operating a vehicle while impaired, theft of a motor vehicle, two counts of assaulting a police officer, and mischief of over $5,000. The RCMP’s investigation continues.
