The Carnduff RCMP is seeking the public’s assistance with a recent theft and some suspicious activity.

In a message on the Saskatchewan Crime Watch Advisory Network, issued Jan. 30, the RCMP says it received a report the previous day of a significant theft of a trailer and two snowmobiles from a residential yard located in the town of Oxbow.

The victim of this crime was not sure when the theft occurred, but that it certainly was between Jan. 23 and 29. The trailer was described as a homebuilt structure bearing Saskatchewan licence plate 448 LGS.

The snowmobiles were described as a white Polaris RMK 600 bearing Saskatchewan licence plate 358 MD, and a yellow honeycomb Ski-Doo Renegade bearing Saskatchewan licence plate 359 MD.

It is also critical that prospective recreational vehicle buyers remain vigilant of deals that are seemingly "too good to be true.”

On another front, the detachment says it has also been dispatched reports of suspicious activity in the northwest quadrant of the RM of Mount Pleasant.

The unwanted activity occurred at oil batteries and unoccupied farm sites north of Glen Ewen. Fortunately, police investigation revealed minimal damage and no theft.

This activity is not being characterized as a remarkable uptick in crime, but it's worth everyone's attention to remind those responsible that people are on the lookout.

The Carnduff Detachment is encouraging residents of the rural municipalities to remain ever vigilant to help maintain the integrity of rural communities.

The Carlyle RCMP is requesting the public's assistance in locating an ATV that was stolen on Jan. 23.

A 2009 Polaris Sportsman 500 ran out of gas three kilometres south of Manor, and when the owner returned with fuel, the ATV was no longer there.

The Polaris Sportsman is camo in color, has a two-up seat, and a snow plow on the front.

“If you have any information on where this ATV might be, please contact the Carlyle RCMP at 306-453-6707,” says the message distributed through the Saskatchewan Crime Watch Advisory Network Monday afternoon.

The Carlyle RCMP is also seeking the public’s help with a theft from a rural property.

Sometime between Dec. 26, 2020, and Jan. 1, a red 2012 Morris Hay Hiker was stolen off a red tractor parked approximately two kilometres east of Highway 9 on Township Road 70.

Please report suspicious persons, vehicles, and activity by calling your local RCMP detachment, by calling 310-RCMP or Crime Stoppers.
