BROMHEAD — A southeast Saskatchewan producer believes a recent vandalism incident caused $10,000-$15,000 in damage.
Curtis Forrester said the incident occurred June 19 or 20 at his property just west of the hamlet of Bromhead. He had been working on his sprayer until 8 p.m. on the 19th, and when he returned at about 10 a.m. on the 20th to finish his work, he saw the damage.
“I found it in a different spot than it was, and it was on top of all my valuable chemical. They ran over all that with the sprayer,” Forrester told SaskToday.
The unit was out at his dugout where he fills his sprayer. He has a chemical handler that he uses for mixing. There was also a tote that was about half-filled with chemical.
“They started up and made a loop, and lined right up with that stuff and drove right over top of it,” said Forrester, who estimates the damage was $10,000 to $15,000 for the chemical.
He won’t know until he operates the sprayer whether it was damaged.
Forrester said he has had items stolen from his property over the years, but has never been a victim of vandalism to this degree.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Weyburn RCMP at 1-306-848-4640.
