Carman RCMP are asking the public for any information connected to a recent incident involving pipeline damage suspected to be caused by a bullet.
A section of the TransCanada Pipeline in the RM of Grey near Elm Creek, Manitoba.
On May 15, 2014, Carman RCMP were 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.
RCMP report that 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.
RCMP are asking anyone with information to contact the Carman Detachment at 204-745-6760 or call Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-8477. You can also submit a secure tip online at www.manitobacrimestoppers.com or text TIPMAN plus your message to CRIMES(274637).
