WEYBURN - The Weyburn Police Service responded 72 calls for service for the week of Feb. 3-9, resulting in 14 charges.
Notable incidents during the week include:
Mischief Under $5,000: Police responded to a complaint of an intoxicated adult male breaking the mirror off a local cab company’s vehicle on Feb. 3. Investigation is ongoing and police are asking anyone with knowledge of this incident to report it to police.
With the cold temperatures, some deer have migrated into the city. Police received numerous reports of deer struck by vehicles causing damage. While driving around the edge of the city, please be aware as they may jump out of nowhere. Please avoid any deer you encounter as they can become defensive if challenged, and it is best to just leave them be and they will make their way back out of city limits.
Police received a complaint from an adult male in medical distress on Feb. 4. Police called EMS to attend the home and assist with gaining entry. A man was found in need of care and was transported to hospital by EMS.
Police received a complaint of a heavily intoxicated female causing a disturbance in a house on Feb. 9. Upon arrival, police tried but were unsuccessful in de-escalation. A woman was arrested for breach of the peace without incident and placed in cells until sober.
City police received numerous complaints of hit-and-run to vehicles. Police want to remind the public that if you strike another vehicle causing damage it needs to be reported to the other driver or police so they can notify the owner of that vehicle of the damage. Charges of fail to report a motor vehicle accident will occur if the offender is located.
Police responded to 14 of Mental Health and Wellbeing check type of calls where assistance was provided when needed. Some of the charges this week were for condition breaches, where multiple offenders were found to not be in compliance of a court-ordered condition.
