Police have had several reports of mischief to vehicles over the last few weeks.

• A member of the Weyburn RCMP Combined Traffic Services Unit was conducting speed enforcement on Highway 39 between Yellow Grass and Mctaggart on Friday afternoon. The member was checking the speed of an oncoming vehicle, when a second vehicle, a four-door Jeep Wrangler, entered the radar beam and showed a speed of 189 km/h. The member waited until the first vehicle was out of the radar beam and continued to track the second vehicle, which was visually observed to still be travelling well over the posted speed limit of 100 km/h. The vehicle speed was confirmed on radar at that time to be travelling at 168 km/h.
The traffic member stopped the vehicle and the driver was issued a ticket with a voluntary fine payment of $492. The vehicle was seized on the spot and impounded for seven days under the Traffic Safety Act for travelling more then 50 km/h over the speed limit.
