On June 3, 2026, at 5:50 pm, St. Pierre-Jolys RCMP responded to a fire at the Kleefeld Park on Second Street in Kleefeld.

Officers attended and observed that there had been a fire in a dumpster and in the men’s bathroom. The fires had already been put out by the fire department when Police arrived.

Officers learned that two youth males had been caught shoplifting at a nearby business. The employees were subsequently advised by other patrons that the two males had just started a fire at the park. Another witness had caught the youths setting a dumpster on fire and when confronted, they ran away.

Officers were able to quickly identify and locate the two youths, aged 12 and 13, both from Kleefeld. They were individually warned about the consequences of their actions and the possibility of facing criminal charges.

The RCMP will be working closely with community partners such as the local fire department, by-law officers and other community programming to hold the youths accountable for their actions. At this time, the two youths will not be charged criminally.

Off-road vehicle rules and tips

A safety message from the Manitoba RCMP regarding the use of Off-Road Vehicles

Manitobans gearing up to climbing onto their off-road vehicle (ORV) over the next several months are encouraged to have their fun while keeping safety top of mind.

ORVs – which include all-terrain vehicles, dirt bikes and utility terrain vehicles – are an important part of outdoor life for many Manitobans. They're fun to ride, have practical uses and can get you places that you otherwise might not have access to. These machines can be very powerful and require the operator's complete attention. Every spring, RCMP officers respond to reports of Manitobans being injured, or worse, because of mistakes made while operating their ORV.

The Manitoba RCMP would like to remind the public of the following rules and safety tips regarding their ORV usage:
• Learn about the area you will ride in and ensure you carry your cellphone and/or GPS device.
• Tell someone where you’re going and when you expect to be back. It’s always safer to ride in a group of two or more.
• No person under the age of 14 is allowed to operate an ORV unless supervised and accompanied by an adult.
• You must wear your seat belt if your ORV is equipped.
• No person should be operating an ORV without a helmet – and it MUST be securely fastened.
• You cannot carry a passenger unless your ORV is designed for two riders.
• You are not allowed to travel on or thru private property, including farmland and gravel pits.
• Operating an ORV on a roadway is strictly prohibited. Crossing a roadway is permitted if you hold a valid driver’s licence.
• Riders should never operate an ORV while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
• Every ORV must be equipped with a noise muffler in good working order.
• Carry the proper safety equipment related to the type of ORV you’re operating.

Golf carts

With the weather finally turning a corner, we’d like to remind the community of some important laws surrounding the use of golf carts.

Although convenient to get around in – remember – a golf cart is not allowed to be operated on the following:

• Highway
• Roadway
• Street
• Ditch
• Public Property

Golf carts are not an off-road vehicle. They are considered a motor vehicle under the Highway Traffic Act and can come with a costly ticket in you are caught.

You can’t register your golf cart and ALL rules of the road that apply for your vehicle, also apply to a golf cart, including impaired driving.

Let’s keep the carts to the golf course, and off the streets this Spring/Summer!
