Alberta: A 32-year-old man in Calgary survived a jump from a third-floor balcony while allegedly trying to escape police, but was arrested just minutes later. He was wanted for reportedly robbing a 95-year-old in her own home a few days earlier after a man broke into her house, pushed her and stole her wallet. Miraculously, he didn’t get hurt in the balcony fall. Not so miraculously, he now faces charges for breaking and entering and robbery, resisting arrest, and breaches of court conditions.
Manitoba: Police officers found themselves in a nasty situation when they found a $300,000 stolen tractor buried under almost five metres of manure.

Ontario: A driver in Hamilton should have thought twice before lighting a cigarette while in the presence of a child. As police pulled him over to tell him to butt out, the man got out of the truck and fled, leaving the child and an adult woman behind. He had reason to worry: the vehicle he was driving was reportedly stolen. Police later arrested him.

Police have no leads in the theft.
