It was a hectic weekend for Steinbach R.C.M.P.  Corporal Bill Richards says they handled 101 calls for assistance.  Among them was a two-vehicle mishap Monday afternoon near Sarto.  The t-bone collision occurred around 4 pm, sending one person to hospital.  No further details are available at this time.  Another call involved an incident at the Double 'S' Truckstop at Richer.
A driver had stopped to sleep and awoke to find 4 pallets of liquor, worth $38,000.00, missing from the trailer.  Corporal Richards says the trailer had a special locking system and investigators suspect the culprits had inside information.  The booze was being shipped from Alberta to Ontario.  The investigation continues.
