On May 15, 2014, Carman RCMP was called out to a section of the TransCanada Pipeline in the RM of Grey, just north of Elm Creek, Manitoba. Officers had been contacted by a TransCanada Pipeline inspector after he noticed superficial damage to an above-ground portion of the oil pipeline.

While not conclusive, the damage is suspected to have been caused by a bullet. Initial investigation shows that the suspect was not near the pipe, but outside of the station’s security fence. It is not clear whether this damage was done intentionally or not.

If you have any information about this incident, please submit a tip.
