CARLYLE - There were 25 traffic tickets issued in the Carlyle detachment area in the past week.
As 2021 is behind us, I want to remind everyone to ensure their vehicles are registered. A total of five tickets were given this week to motorists driving unregistered vehicles. This ticket has a fine of $580, which is a very expensive reminder to get your vehicle registered.
On Jan. 10, RCMP received a complaint of an abandoned truck on Highway 13 near Manor. The vehicle was deemed to be a road hazard, was towed from the scene and the owner of the vehicle was notified.
That same day, the Saskatchewan Health Authority building on the White Bear First Nations was broke into. The culprits gained entry to the building by breaking a window. An adult male and female were identified by surveillance cameras and both are now facing charges of break and enter and theft.
The culprits stole several bottles of hand sanitizer from the building. All that hand sanitizer and the culprits still couldn’t make a clean getaway. Carlyle RCMP is requesting anyone with more information about this incident to contact the detachment by calling 306-453-6707. Information can be submitted anonymously through CrimeStoppers by calling 1-800-222-8477 or submitting a tip online at www.saskcrimestoppers.com.
On Jan. 11, the RCMP responded to a Ford Taurus that slid off Highway 48 and into the ditch near Wawota. Nobody was injured during the incident and RCMP controlled traffic while the vehicle was towed out of the ditch.
On Jan. 11, the RCMP received a call from a civilian regarding six moose in the town of Arcola. The animals made a huge moose-take and were entering yards and the public was not a-moose-d. RCMP contacted the Ministry of Environment, who in turn were led on a wild moose chase, trying to get them out of town. The ministry updated the RCMP that the moose would be tranquilized if necessary to remove them from the area.
On Jan. 12, RCMP received a complaint of snowmobilers on private land without permission near Manor. I know all snowmobilers are very excited with all the snow but please be respectful and do not snowmobile on anyone’s land without permission.
On Jan. 13, the RCMP received a complaint of beer cans continuously being littered around the town of Redvers. The caller provided a vehicle description of the culprits’ who were driving a dark coloured diesel truck. The caller was concerned the drivers were drinking and driving in town limits. Your Carlyle RCMP will be upping their game in communities in the area to help combat and limit people impaired driving.
On Jan. 14, RCMP responded to a grey Honda Civic rollover on Highway 13 near Antler. Luckily the adult female driver was not injured in the rollover.
Scam of the week
Oftentimes, debt settlement companies promise to get you out of debt quickly and to reduce your payments to a fraction of what they originally were. You should be cautious of debt settlement companies that tell you to stop paying your creditors and ask you to pay up-front fees in addition to monthly payments.
In this scenario, once you have paid the debt settlement company enough money, they will present this as a lump sum settlement to your creditors. However, if you stop paying your creditors because you’re instead paying a debt settlement company that hasn’t negotiated with your creditors, your credit rating could be damaged as you miss more and more payments.
It may take several months before your creditors ever receive a payment, possibly sending your account to collections. There are no miracle solutions to get out of debt.
It’s okay not to be okay
The Carlyle RCMP responded to several mental health calls this week. The mental health calls varied from people with dementia, people suffering from drug and alcohol psychosis, to people suffering from depression. We want to encourage everyone to reach out for help and talk to someone if they can.
No matter how bad things may seem, remember that they will always get better. Life can be very difficult to say the least. Please reach out and check in with friends, co-workers, and family see how they are doing. It’s a perfectly normal question to ask people how they are doing. Don’t let people suffer in silence.
If you see someone that you believe needs some help but won’t accept help from you, please let the police or their family know. Help is also available 24 hours a day at Canada’s Suicide Prevention Service at 1-833-456-4566.
