On Dec. 5, 2020, at approximately 7:30 a.m. an 8 District – Grimsby uniform officer was on general patrol on Highway 20 approaching the roundabout at South Grimsby Road 6 in West Lincoln. The officer came across fresh damage to the roundabout.

There were significant ruts, several young trees were toppled, and there appeared to be damage to an automatic irrigation system.
The investigation also determined that the suspect vehicle may be a lifted 4x4, possibly a pickup truck. The suspect vehicle is believed to have left the area southbound on South Grimsby Road 6.
