Two people were arrested in Brandon, Manitoba, on March 2, 2026, after they allegedly left a local restaurant without paying a bill of more than $300. The Brandon Police Service caught the pair during a traffic stop on Monday afternoon.
The arrests follow an incident that took place on February 25, 2026, at a business in the 1100 block of Richmond Avenue. Police say the patrons walked out on a tab totaling $312.82.
Officers pulled the vehicle over around 4:38 p.m. and identified the two occupants as the individuals wanted for the unpaid bill. Both people were arrested at the scene.
The individuals were later released and are now required to appear in court on May 11, 2026. This action comes as local police continue to track down and catch people who leave businesses without paying for services.
