Manitoba’s police watchdog agency the Independent Investigation Unit (IIU) is investigating an incident that occurred on September 1, 2018.
Manitoba First Nations Police Service (MFNPS) noticed the IIU on June 4, 2020 about the incident. According to the MFNPS an off-duty officer was involved in a pursuit earlier in the day and had located the suspect vehicle abandoned near a Sandy Bay home.
As the officer searched for the suspect he allegedly went into the residence without lawful consent which is a criminal offence.
Zane Tessler, the civilian director of the IIU determined that it is in the public interest to investigate the incident.
