Distraught male high on drugs
September 17
A local cab driver brought a distraught male to the Camrose Police station as the male claimed he was being chased by other people. The male was high on illicit drugs and his father was contacted to pick up his son.
Police received a 911 call and a female could be heard in the background saying, “Stop hitting me”, and then the line was disconnected. Police were able to trace the location of the call to a rural address, where a son and mother were located. Neither person was in distress with no physical altercation having occurred. The situation was mediated for the evening.
September 16
A business in the industrial area advised that the fence to their compound had been cut and a John Deere side-by-side had been stolen. Police are investigating the theft.
