The incident happened at roughly 3:30 p.m. on Wednesday when the suspect used a baseball bat to smash a fence of a resident. The male was identified, located, arrested and charged. No one was injured during the incident.

RCMP are investigating a collision between a 1998 Honda Civic and a 2016 Jeep Wrangler at the intersection of Carlton Trail and Territorial Dr. just before 5 p.m. on Wednesday. Police said there were no injuries, however the Honda was towed from the scene.

Meanwhile, the RCMP are reminding residents to not leave children or pets alone inside hot vehicles for any length of time as dehydration and heat exhaustion happen quickly.
