The Weyburn Police Service continues to receive almost daily reports of scams. One of the latest is that the phone will ring once. If the person tries to call back to see who called, the other party is somehow able to take control of the line which may result in extremely high long-distance charges being applied to the phone account.
If you do receive a one-ring call, or see a number on your phone that you do not recognize, please be diligent in determining if it is legitimate before you attempt to call it back.
City police continue to receive complaints about people committing bullying via text message or other social media. While each case needs to be examined and investigated, in the proper circumstances these acts may constitute an offence under a city bylaw.
Weyburn police were dispatched to a report of a two-vehicle collision on Coteau Avenue at Fifth Street NE on Wednesday. There were no injuries.
Intersections controlled by a four-way stop are very common in Weyburn and require a bit of thinking about who has the legal right-of-way. While it is common practice that the person who stops first gets to go first, legally speaking the law is that you must yield the right-of-way. That means if two vehicles come to the intersection at the same time, the vehicle on the ‘right’ has the lawful right-of-way.
As the result of a vehicle stop on Friday, a male driver was charged for driving while suspended.
Weyburn police are investigating two reports of vehicles being egged on Saturday. These incidents happened in the 100 and 200 blocks of 17th Street NE. Anyone with information is asked to contact either the Weyburn Police Service, or to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
