TEENS IN COCAINE BUST
A pair of 16-year-old boys were arrested after police found cocaine during a traffic stop early Tuesday morning.
Police stopped a vehicle in the 100 block of Park Avenue at around 3:10 a.m.
The two youths were unable to show identification to police and initially gave false names, the Brandon Police Service said in a news release.
While searching the vehicle, police found and seized 250 grams of cocaine with a street value of around $25,000, police said.
Police arrested both youths and charged them with possessing cocaine for the purpose of trafficking. They were held in BPS detention cells before being released on undertakings.
CRIMINAL HARASSMENT
Brandon police arrested a man on Monday after he allegedly harassed a woman and caused a commotion in a downtown business.
Officers with the Brandon Police Service responded to a panic alarm being activated at a business on the 100 block of Eighth Street at around 11:20 a.m.
It was reported that a man was harassing a 34-year-old woman, yelling at customers and refusing to leave the business when asked, police said.
BPS said the woman was known to him.
Officers found and arrested a 65-year-old man and charged him with criminal harassment. He was later released on an undertaking and is scheduled to appear in court in June.
BREAK AND ENTER
The Brandon Police Service is asking for the public’s help in a break-and-enter investigation.
Early Sunday morning, an unidentified man entered a “secure compound” on the 1500 block of First Street North by breaching a back fence, BPS said in news release on Tuesday. The man broke into multiple storage units and briefly returned to the property the next morning at around 3 a.m., police said.
Police said they are continuing to investigate and asked for anyone with information regarding the break-in to reach out to police.
