POLICE BEAT
By Sisseton Police Chief Jim Croymans
| The Sisseton Police Department has made three arrests in connection with the recent burglaries. The three individuals remain in custody on charges of Grand Theft, Possession of Stolen Property, First Degree Burglary and Simple Assault. The Police Department feels that there may be other individuals involved in these burglaries and is continuing to follow up on all leads. The Police Department is still requesting assistance from the community as this is still an outgoing investigation.
The Police Department again encourages citizens to take appropriate measures such as locking doors, leaving lights on, and reporting any suspicious activity to law enforcement.
Anyone with information regarding the burglaries should contact the Sisseton Police Department at 605-698-3932.

|  POWER LINES DOWNED BY RECENT ICE STORM -- Many rural residents in the area spent at least part of the recent ice and snow storm without power, but some remained without power for an entire week. Numerous poles went down along Lohre Road near the Lohre Station/ Clark’s Corner area, or were simply snapped in two by the weight of the thick ice (top photo). Most of the lines still intact were hanging low (bottom photo). Lake Region Electric has had crews working diligently to restore power, and all customers were expected to have power back by Sunday, Jan. 31, at the latest. Traverse Electric also had consumers still experiencing outages for several days. The storm, which began as an ice storm on Friday, Jan 22, progressed to blizzard conditions by Monday, Jan. 25, resulting in the closure of I-29. With winds gusting to 50 mph causing heavy drifting and near zero visibility on top of the thick ice, rural electric cooperatives were forced to call their crews in from the dangerous conditions, further hampering power restoration efforts. The crews were back on the job Tuesday. In these situations, the public is urged to use caution and reminded to stay away from low hanging or downed power lines and use caution when driving in areas where workers are making repairs. People are asked to stay out of ditches, as broken poles and low hanging power lines may create a hazard. Consumers using generators are urged to use caution and make sure the units are properly wired to avoid inadvertently energizing lines and endangering the lives of workers and the public. Travelers are urged to visit safetravelusa.com or call 511 to check road conditions in other parts of South Dakota and surrounding states. ~ Courier Photos
