The weather seems to be warming up during the day, causing sleet and ice rain to fall. When the sun goes down, the roads turn into ice rinks.
Please keep in mind that the highways are usually a couple degrees cooler than the temperature of the air.
In the last week, Clearwater RCMP have responded to 15 motor vehicle collisions. Fortunately, none caused serious injury.
Unauthorized firearm.
On Sunday, Dec. 22, Clearwater RCMP were told there was an intoxicated male traveling on the highway between Clearwater and Little Fort.
The male was stopped and investigation found he was not intoxicated. However, he was in possession of a rifle.
The male was charged because he did not possess a valid PAL or POL. The firearm, he said, was a gift for his step father.
Unfortunately, if you have a firearm in your possession without the proper documentation, no matter the reason, the gun will be seized and you could face legal consequences.
Found eyeglasses
The RCMP are currently in possession of a small pair of black eyeglasses. If you have or your child has lost glasses, feel free to come by the detachment and claim them with a description.
Happy New Year
Clearwater RCMP and Southeast District Traffic Services would like to wish everyone a safe and happy New Year.
