A man who is alleged to have given stolen identification to police officers saying it was his has been arrested. Around 1 o’clock on Tuesday, Saskatoon Police were dispatched to an apartment in the 1900 block of 7th Street East in the Holliston area.

Officers noticed a man trying to get into the building, and that’s when it’s alleged he presented them with the ID. Police say he was also trying to hide a large amount of stolen mail, which was confirmed to have been taken from the apartment building. A 37 year old man is facing numerous charges including break and enter and possession of stolen ID.

Saskatoon Police responded to a break and enter in progress early this morning (Wed) at a garage in the Massey Place neighbourhood. When officers arrived to the home in the 700 block of Matheson Drive, they noticed a man jumping over a backyard fence into the alley.

A police dog team tracked items discarded along the way including clothing and a backpack, which included items stolen from the garage. The dog led officers to the 3100 block of Milton Street where a man was hiding in a green waste bin. He was transported to hospital with a minor injury from the police dog.
