Altona police continue to investigate an incident Friday night at the local skate park. An unidentified youth had pulled out a pocket knife and verbally threatened a group of kids playing there. This matter remains under investigation and anyone with information regarding this incident is asked to call the Altona Police Service 204-324-5373.

Meantime, an Altona man will be answering to mischief charges in court later this year.
    
Police were called to the local aquatic centre Sunday afternoon where the adult male had thrown a garbage can in anger into a large window. The incident forced staff to close the pool for over an hour in order to clean up the mess of garbage and shattered glass.
    
Police report no one was hurt in the incident.

Overall, the Altona Police Service reports a relatively quiet Manitoba Sunflower Festival weekend. A strategy of high visibility was used with at least one officer in the local park area the entire weekend. Reports indicate this plan seems to have worked well with respect to avoiding more serious events, in assisting and locating missing children, or helping visitors find their way around the community.
