Members patrolled the area and located the vehicle on Hwy. 28 west of 66th St.

Semi-truck collides with cow
Bonnyville RCMP responded to a vehicle collision involving livestock. A complainant reported two cows in a ditch near Rge Rd. 482 on Hwy. 28 on Dec. 10.
“A semi-truck had struck one of the cows, killing it and causing his vehicle to be damaged and inoperable,” explained Hillier. “The other cow escaped harm but was wandering around the roadway.”

A residence located five miles outside of Glendon was the target of a "significant break-in."
