Manitoba’s Independent Investigation Unit is looking into an incident involving an off-duty RCMP officer who arrested a teenage girl in Brandon on October 19.
According to the Brandon Police Service, the officer chased and handcuffed the youth after she and four others were playing a game of “ding dong ditch” on Hawthorn Crescent. The game involves ringing doorbells of residences and running away.
The officer then drove the girl home, where her mother reported the incident to police.
The IIU has determined it is in the public interest to investigate. Anyone with information or video footage is asked to contact the IIU at 1-844-667-6060.
The investigation remains ongoing.
