WEYBURN — The Weyburn Police Service (WPS) responded to 86 calls for service from Feb. 9-15, resulting in 24 charges.
Of the charges, three were laid under the Criminal Code of Canada and 21 were under the Traffic Safety Act. During this time, WPS members also attended to false alarms, calls of disturbances, calls related to mental health, well-being checks, reports of suspicious persons or activities, and offender management.
Two individuals known to have outstanding warrants for their arrest were located by WPS members and arrested for failing to appear in court. Both individuals were given new court dates to face their charges.
A Report Impaired Drivers complaint was received by the WPS, with the caller indicating a possible impaired driver travelling northwest through Weyburn. A WPS officer with Combined Traffic Services of Saskatchewan was able to locate the suspected vehicle and check the driver, who did not display any signs of impairment.
Three reports of hit-and-run incidents were reported to WPS during the week. One of the complainants was able to provide the licence plate number of the offending vehicle, which enabled WPS officers to locate and speak to the driver involved in that incident.
The Weyburn police advises drivers involved in an accident in which they are unable to locate the owner of the other vehicle/property, to leave a note with contact information and to call to advise WPS of the incident in case it is reported as a hit and run.
*Anyone with information regarding one of these matters, or any other matter of a criminal nature, is encouraged to contact the Weyburn Police Service at (306) 848-3250, the local RCMP Detachment at 310-7267, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477).
