February 10
• Creston RCMP arrested a male in town for prohibited driving after observing him driving near his residence. The officer knew the male was prohibited, because he had issued the driving prohibition two days prior.

February 11
• Creston RCMP assisted a town bylaw officer that had attempted to remove a burned out vehicle that was parked partially on town property. The owner was distraught and attempted to climb on top of the bylaw officer’s vehicle. The situation was de-escalated and no criminal charges were considered.
