TRAFFICKING STOLEN GOODS
Two men are facing charges after several items were stolen from a Brandon residence last week when the homeowner was out of town, police say.
On Nov. 7, officers received a report of a break and enter at a home on the 1400 block of 18th Street, police said in a news release on Thursday.
The incident occurred around 2:30 a.m. Investigators later discovered that the stolen items had been listed for sale online and identified two suspects.
On Wednesday, police charged a 51-year-old man with trafficking property obtained by crime and fraudulent use of a credit card. He was scheduled to appear in Brandon court on Thursday, police said.
A 35-year-old man, who was also charged with trafficking property obtained by crime, was released on a notice to appear in court on Jan. 21.
CHARGES AFTER COLLISION
Two individuals were arrested on Wednesday evening following a motor vehicle collision in downtown Brandon.
Around 9 p.m., police tried to pull over a vehicle that was travelling in the wrong direction in the 1200 block of Rosser Avenue, police said on Thursday. The driver attempted to evade police by looping around the block and driving down a back lane, the release said.
The vehicle then approached Pacific Avenue, ran a stop sign and struck another vehicle, police said.
Brandon Fire and Emergency Services were called to the scene and assessed the occupants of both vehicles. No injuries were reported, police said.
A 23-year-old driver in the offending vehicle had a suspended licence and admitted he had consumed alcohol, police said.
He provided a roadside breath sample, which he failed. After he was arrested, he provided two more samples with one showing a blood-alcohol concentration of 0.08 per cent.
He was charged with flight from police and dangerous operation of a motor vehicle and was ticketed for several Highway Traffic Act offences. He was issued a 90-day licence suspension.
Police also found a machete in the front seat of the vehicle.
A 22-year-old passenger in the vehicle was also intoxicated. He was arrested for breach of peace and was held in police custody until sober.
Both vehicles involved in the collision were towed from the scene.
