Members of the Estevan Police Service and Weyburn Police Service held a joint training session on Wednesday.

ESTEVAN — Estevan police members attended to a local business to a report of two suspicious persons on the property on July 12. The two individuals were arrested for theft and later released for court in late July.

Police also received a report from an individual that was trying to sell used property. The seller received an offer to purchase but the buyer wanted to provide a larger payment to the seller than the offer and have the seller rebate the difference. Police warn the public that in the majority of the cases, this is an attempt to scam. The original payment will not go through and the seller will be out the difference that was refunded.

The same day, members received another report of an individual receiving a letter from the Saskatchewan police indicating there was legal action being taken against the individual for cyber intrusion.  The letter is signed by an individual that is a peace officer in Saskatchewan. It is believed the scammer obtained the peace officer’s name through the media and used it as the author to attempt to mislead the victim.

Police also received a report of a suspicious man in the east end of the city. Members attended and located the individuals and warned them about their behaviour.

Police received a report of a white car travelling at a high rate of speed in a residential area. Statements, provided by witnesses, and the matter remains under investigation.
