May 23: The Broadview RCMP detachment and Traffic Services members conducted increased traffic enforcement from May 23-29 as part of Canada Road Safety Week. Enforcement was conducted on local roadways in order to contribute to the goal of having the safest roads in the world.
On May 23, a total of 21 traffic infractions were issued to motorists in the detachment area, including the Kipling area. Motorists are reminded that traffic violations will be enforced year-round and not just on dedicated periods of time throughout the year.
May 24: Police received a call regarding a neighbour dispute in Kipling. The caller said that their neighbour was being mean and insulting them over the fence. Police advised that it was not illegal to mean to another person. It’s just not very nice. The caller understood and no further police intervention was needed.
May 27: Police received a call from a gas station in Whitewood about theft from the store. A man entered the store, allegedly took about $30 worth of merchandise and left without paying. The man then departed the area in his vehicle.
This same person is a suspect in many gas and dashes in Saskatchewan and southwest Manitoba. He is facing multiple theft criminal charges from the Broadview-Kipling detachment and currently has an arrest warrant out for him.
The male is 50-year-old Robert Daniel Leduc from Quebec. He has driving a 2002 maroon Mazda Tribute SUV with Quebec licence plate K35 YEQ. If anybody sees this male or vehicle, they are asked to call the nearest RCMP detachment or 911 immediately. Businesses in the Kipling area have not yet been victimized by this man, but there is a high likelihood that he could be in the area.
Leduc was reportedly arrested in Regina in late May.
