Week of crime and road incidents keeps RCMP busy in Rosetown and Kyle
Rosetown and Kyle RCMP responded to a range of incidents across the region last week, including vehicle collisions, thefts, and impaired driving.
On Sept. 18, Kyle RCMP attended a vehicle-versus-deer collision on Highway 4, north of Rosetown. The vehicle was not drivable and was towed to Biggar.
Several complaints of suspicious activity and erratic driving were reported over the week, though not all led to charges. On Sept. 19, a suspicious vehicle was reported in the RM of Pleasant Valley, but patrols were unable to locate it. On Sept. 20, an erratic driver near Wiseton could not be found, and minor injuries were reported following a vehicle collision with a power pole near Wartime. A dog-related complaint in Beechy resulted in no further action.
Thefts and break-ins were also investigated. Rosetown RCMP received reports of a stolen quad near Herschel and vehicle break-ins in Rosetown, with a stolen bank card used at a local business. Both investigations remain ongoing. On Sept. 22, a SaskTel compound in Rosetown was broken into, and copper wire was stolen.
Impaired driving continued to be a concern. Kyle RCMP, with assistance from Biggar RCMP, charged a driver north of Rosetown on Sept. 22 after determining the individual was impaired. Later the same day, Rosetown RCMP charged another driver with impaired operation of a vehicle near Fiske.
Other notable calls included a well-being check in Elrose, an abandoned boat at Clearwater Lake Regional Park, a stolen truck and trailer near Rosetown, and a combine fire in the RM of Canaan. Police also received several reports of suspicious persons and a reported assault in Kyle, which is under investigation.
Throughout the week, officers issued 53 traffic-related charges and responded to multiple 911 misdials and false alarms.
RCMP continue to ask anyone with information about these or any other crimes to contact the Rosetown RCMP at 306-882-5700 or Saskatchewan Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or online at www.saskcrimestoppers.com.
