A brown Chevrolet Camaro was passing dangerously on double solid lines

On Tuesday, Jan. 27, Clearwater RCMP received a report of a traffic complaint on Highway 5 in the Darfield area south of Little Fort.

A brown Chevrolet Camaro was passing dangerously on double solid lines and almost caused a motor vehicle incident.

Police located the vehicle, which was driving at a high rate of speed and pulled it over. A number of offences being committed were then discovered.

Police served the driver with violation tickets for speeding, driving without due care, wrong number plate and failing to produce a driver’s license. Marijuana was also seized from the vehicle.

Break and enter

On Jan. 31, Clearwater RCMP were advised of a break and enter in progress.

The complainant reported that he was witnessing two youth attempting to gain access to a nearby residence in Clearwater.

Police attended and found two youth that matched the description provided by the complainant. The two youth admitted to attempting to look through an unlocked window.

Both youth were arrested and were released with a promise to appear in court later in the year.

The driver provided a sample that resulted in a “Fail” reading. The driver’s vehicle was towed for 30 days and the driver was placed on a 90-day prohibition.
