The Weyburn Police Service received 94 calls for service during the period of Nov. 30 through Dec. 6.

On Monday, officers dealt with an individual harassing neighbouring tenants. The individuals involved were spoken to and no charges resulted. Officers also dealt with an individual who attended the Weyburn Police Service regarding threats being made against him by another individual. This matter is still under investigation.

Police received a theft complaint regarding an unknown person who drove off from a gas station without paying on Dec. 1. Police obtained video from the business and the matter is under investigation.

Wednesday saw officers attend a local business after an individual was reported for failing to comply with the COVID-19 health restrictions. Officers spoke to the individual who was cooperative and agreed to comply with the mask requirement. Also on Wednesday, the Weyburn Police Service received a complaint of padlocks being cut off a local donation drop bin. This matter is still under investigation.

Officers received a complaint of a domestic assault on Thursday, and responded to a business reporting a theft from their store. Both matters are currently under investigation.

The end of the week was fairly active as police received a complaint of a sexual assault among a variety of other calls, including calls regarding suspicious persons, attempted frauds, and assistance to the general public. One of the general public calls involved a young person walking on the river ice. The Weyburn Police Service want to remind residents to be very cautious as recent temperatures have been very mild and the ice thickness will vary and is not safe.

The Weyburn Police Service would also like to remind residents to ensure the sidewalks bordering their property are clear and safe for pedestrian use as set out in the city bylaws.  The recent warm weather has brought many people out to enjoy a brisk walk, but some are walking on the roadway where the sidewalks are not clear.

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-RCMP (7267), or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
