The Weyburn Police Service reported that over the course of the week there have been a number of Canada Revenue Agency and other scam calls again. Police continue to urge people to not provide any type of personal information over the phone unless you verify who you are talking to. No government agency uses overt threats and intimidation tactics to scare a person into compliance.
The city police also had a number of calls again where vehicles were rummaged through and items stolen. This simply cannot happen if you lock your vehicle.
In Weyburn, there have been no incidents with someone breaking a vehicle window to gain entry simply to steal items. If the vehicle is locked, they simply move on to the next easy target of opportunity. The easy availability of unlocked vehicles brings the criminal element to your neighbourhood right outside of your homes. Police ask for the public’s help to keep Weyburn safe by being proactive and locking your vehicles.
