New Years Eve
Prince Albert Police report a major-incident free evening. Although 2 impaired drivers were arrested (as detailed in the Duty NCO report), the message to the community and programs to ensure designated drivers helped to ensure an injury and fatality free night of celebration on our streets. Our thanks to the many volunteers that helped to make this happen, and to everyone out there that made the ‘right choice’.
The Prince Albert Police encourage our community to make wise choices on drinking and driving a part of their everyday lives throughout the year.

On January 3rd/2012 at 1:00am Prince Albert Police responded to the area of the 1100 block of 15th Street West regarding a disturbance. On arrival, it was determined a 13 and a 15 year old girl had been the victims of a robbery. One of the girls had suffered minor injury, and she was treated at the Victoria Hospital and released.
Suspects were located in the area. Although they denied involvement, when officers called the number of the stolen cell phone, it rang in the pocket of one of the suspects. A 16-year old male and a 15-year old female, both from Prince Albert, have been arrested and charged with Robbery with Violence.
