CARLYLE RCMP - How would you like to join our team here at the Carlyle RCMP Bed and Breakfast? The Carlyle RCMP currently has a need to hire more guards. Pay is $17.58 an hour.  

As a guard you will receive all the training you need. You will never have any hands-on contact with prisoners themselves and your only job will be to watch them to ensure they are safe. The job is very easy and stress free. Work is on a call-in basis only. If you are called, you can say you’re not available. There is no expectation to work.  

If you have any interest in becoming a guard, please contact the Carlyle RCMP at (306) 453-6707 or stop in anytime you can as we can show you around.

On May 9, Cst. Samowedziuk stopped a semi on Highway 9 near the White Bear First Nations that was travelling 112 kilometres per hour in an 80 km/h zone. During the stop, Samowedziuk discovered that the driver’s log books had been falsified and had been working over the hours regulated. The driver was charged and put out of service for 72 hours. 

On May 10, Sgt. Holmstrom, Cst. Zayats, and Nicole Gervais with Â鶹ÊÓƵeast Regional Victim Services attended the Gordon F. Kells High School Grade 10 classroom. The class received a presentation on drug and substance abuse as well as dangers and consequences of sharing intimate photos of themselves. The Grade 10 class was very engaged during the presentation and had very good questions for the presenters. We hope to get out and speak with more students soon. 

Scam of the Week 

On May 10, the RCMP was notified of a gift card scam. In this scam, the fraudster pretended to act on behalf of the company TTEC that was hiring a new employee. The fraudster hired the victim and in turn sent all the appropriate paper work, contracts and information associated with the job.  

The fraudster requested $1,800 in gift cards from the victim in order to pay for the equipment that would allow the victim to work from home, such as computers and equipment. Once the funds were received, the fraudster cut off contact with the victim.   

These scams can be very elaborate and in this case there was not much reason to doubt the fraudster was not legitimate. Please try not to send money or personal information to anyone that you do not know personally. You can also reduce the risk of being scammed by vetting associated names, phone numbers and procedures provided to you by the fraudster. 

On two separate occasions this week, the Carlyle RCMP received calls of $20 worth of gas being stolen from gas stations in Carlyle. The RCMP located one of the culprits responsible and is currently working on locating the second registered. The one owner located quickly returned to the gas station and paid for their gas to avoid charges.   

I realize the price of gas is crazy right now but that doesn’t give anyone the right to not pay for their fuel. A charge of theft on your criminal record really is worth more that $20. Please just remember to pay for your gas. 

On May 11, RCMP responded to a disturbance with a male and female fighting and yelling at one another. RCMP attended the residence and arrested an intoxicated male. The male was given a free safe night stay in Carlyle cells until he was sober. 

That same day, the RCMP stopped a 16-year-old female with a novice 1 licence in Carlyle. The driver had two passengers whom were not immediate family members. A novice 1 licence only allows drivers to have one passenger that is not a family member. The female was issued a $150 fine for the infraction. 

On May 12, the RCMP received a complaint of a male passed out while intoxicated on the sidewalk on Main Street in Carlyle. The RCMP attended the scene where two sheriffs from Estevan were watching over the male. RCMP members placed the male under arrest and transported him back to Carlyle’s three-star bed and breakfast. The male checked out the next morning once he had breakfast and was sober. 

On May 13, the RCMP responded to a break and enter at Moon Lit Cannabis in Carlyle. The culprits used rocks in a sock to break the front glass and gain entry into the business. The culprit entered the building and went straight to a cupboard where the pre-rolled cannabis cigarettes are kept. The cupboard was empty and the culprit left the building without taking anything. The subject left the store on foot. The Carlyle RCMP is requesting anyone with information about this incident to contact the detachment by calling 306-453-6707. Information can be submitted anonymously through Crime Stoppers by calling 1-800-222-8477 or submitting a tip online at www.saskcrimestoppers.com 

Carlyle RCMP responded to several calls this week of scared and worried homeowners that received knocks on their doors late in the evening only to find no one at their door when they looked. Although Knock Knock Ginger, Ding Dong Ditch or whatever name you want to use was a fun game for kids to play in the past, in this day and age, it can do significant harm. It allows people to feel unsafe in their homes and I would strongly like to discourage people from doing it. 

On May 13, RCMP received a report of a stolen wallet out of a van on Manor Street in Arcola.  The owner of the van left the door unlocked for approximately 20 minutes, but when he checked his black leather wallet had been taken. The owner cancelled his IDs and bank cards. If you find a black leather wallet, please contact the RCMP and let us know so we can return it to its rightful owner. 

On May 15, RCMP received a call of a collision that occurred when a black Dodge 1500 failed to stop at a stop sign, and collided with a Jeep Cherokee at the intersection of Highway 13 and the 605 Highway. The driver of the black Dodge Ram appeared to be under in the influence of cannabis marijuana, which was confirmed with an oral screening device. The driver was arrested for impaired driving and RCMP obtained samples of the driver’s blood to send to the lab for analysis. 

On May 15, Const. Pilgrim observed a vehicle travelling well below the posted 100 km/h speed limit and swerving back and forth inside his lane on Highway 13 near Carlyle. Pilgrim stopped the vehicle and discovered the driver was suspended from driving and was charged accordingly.
