Melita

Theft

On February 1st, 2021, the Manitoba Hydro compound in Melita was broken into, and a substantial amount of copper wiring was stolen, along with some tools and a bright orange winter suit with reflective striping. On February 9th, 2021, the same compound was broken into again and more copper wiring was stolen. That same night, the Melita Bus Garage was also broken into and a mig-welder stolen. Video surveillance from several businesses in the area shows an individual wearing Manitoba Hydro’s bright orange suit, driving a dark gray Toyota sedan with no front license plate looking around their properties.

Anyone with information about this incident is asked to call the Virden RCMP Detachment at (204) 748-2046.

By providing information that Crime Stoppers will share with law enforcement agencies, you are providing an important and valuable public service. We understand that disclosure of your identity might put you at risk. We do everything we can to protect your anonymity. However, that anonymity may be open to challenge in the following situations:

A call to Crime Stoppers made with the intention of “furthering criminal activity or interfering with the administration of justice”. A party who is guilty of a crime cannot use Crime Stoppers to try to divert the blame onto someone else. Crime Stoppers cannot be used to try to “frame” an innocent person.
There is evidence that disclosure of some or all of a tip is necessary to establish someone’s innocence.
A tipster having received the benefit of full legal advice may, for his or her own reasons, elect to waive the privilege.

For a fuller explanation of these principles, help us to help you by reading and understanding the “Tipster Information” on the Canadian Crime Stoppers website.
