Tuesday, November 8th, 2011 11:00 a.m. CITIZEN'S ACTION NETWORK (CAN) NOW LIVE In June 2011, the Winnipeg Police Service in partnership with the City of Winnipeg's Community Services Department announced the creation of the Citizen's Action Network (CAN). The Citizen's Action Network will assist communities in working together with various agencies to solve non-crime related area problems and issues. This network will harness our current Crime Prevention Initiatives, Neighbourhood Residential Associations, and other organizations that work together to make our communities a safer place to live and work. The Citizen's Action Network will allow non-crime related issues or problems within a community to be compiled by a volunteer community member known as a "CAN Coordinator" and forwarded to: the Winnipeg Police Service, 311, and/or Manitoba Justice's – Public Safety Investigations Unit. Other helping agencies and organizations will then be enlisted in the efforts as required. The Winnipeg Police Service and Community Services Department are pleased to announce that the "Citizen's Action Network (CAN)" is now available for use by the Public at www.winnipeg.ca/police/can The network has CAN coordinators across communities throughout our City as well as number of individuals currently in the process of becoming coordinators. If you wish to be become a coordinator for your area please call "311" for further information. This network will develop leaders within our communities and strives to make Winnipeg an even better place to live.

RESIDENTIAL BREAK AND ENTERS- ARREST C11-233910 On November 6th, 2011 shortly after 3:30 p.m. Winnipeg Police Service members responded to a report of a residential break and enter within the 300 block of Riverton Avenue. A caller to 911 indicated that a lone male suspect was observed to enter the house through a rear door. Upon arrival East District officers, as well as a canine unit surrounded the residence. A subsequent search of the house by the canine unit resulted in a suspect male being located within. Members of the East District Crime Unit continued with this investigation which involved other break and enters that had occurred within the Elmwood area. On October 25th, 2011 a residence within the 300 block of Bowman Avenue was entered and a large television was removed. Then on November 4th, 2011 a residence within the 300 block of Riverton Avenue, was broken into where approximately $3600 worth of electronics and jewellery was stolen. Later this same date a male suspect attended to an area convenience store in an attempt to sell the stolen goods. Approximately $3100 worth of stolen property was recovered. Both these incidents were initially investigated by divisional report car members and as a result of their efforts, a suspect male was identified. Ricardo Fabian KNIGHT, 27 year of Winnipeg will be facing two counts of break and enter as well as possession of goods obtained by crime for his alleged involvement in these incidents.
