The Brandon Police Service arrested three men following several separate incidents involving weapons and impaired driving in Brandon, Manitoba, on March 16, 2026. Officers apprehended the suspects throughout the day and evening in response to calls from the community.
In one incident, police went to a business in the 1100 block of Rosser Avenue after a man stole a handheld credit card machine worth $800. Security footage helped officers identify a 27-year-old suspect, who was later arrested on Victoria Avenue while carrying a small hatchet.
Earlier that afternoon, a 26-year-old man was arrested after a woman fled from a home to the local courthouse for safety. Police report that the man threatened the 42-year-old woman with a knife and made several verbal threats before he was taken into custody.
Late Monday night, officers stopped a vehicle in the 1600 block of Maple Avenue after a witness reported a possible impaired driver. A 32-year-old man failed two roadside breath tests, which resulted in his vehicle being impounded for 30 days and an immediate 90-day license suspension.
All three individuals were held in custody to wait for their scheduled court appearances.
