A new court date has been set for one of two men, arrested in connection with some thefts in the Swan Valley.
Last April, Mounties executed a search warrant at a property in the R.M. of Minitonas-Bowsman, which resulted in the recovery of stolen property, including a side-by-side ATV.
30-year-old Lance Manaigre had his matter heard in Swan River yesterday (WED), where it was adjourned until March 1st.
