WEYBURN – The Weyburn Police Service responded to 82 calls for service during the week of Aug. 4 to 11.
Motor vehicle collision
On Aug. 5, police responded to a collision at the intersection of 5th Street and 1st Avenue. A vehicle proceeded before it was safe to do so and struck another vehicle. One vehicle required towing from the scene. No injuries were reported. One driver was charged with failing to yield.
Assault causing bodily harm
On Aug. 9, in the early morning hours, police were called to a local drinking establishment regarding unruly patrons. Upon arrival, officers determined a fight had occurred, and one person was transported to the hospital for assessment. The assault investigation remains ongoing, and charges are pending.
Later that same night, police were again called to the same establishment for a second fight involving multiple individuals. The investigation revealed that an adult male had assaulted two other adult males, causing injury. The suspect was arrested the following night and charged with two counts of assault causing bodily harm and breach of probation. As the male was intoxicated at the time of arrest, he was held in police cells until sober.
Well-being/mental health checks
Police responded to 10 well-being and mental health-related calls during the week. Most incidents were resolved without further intervention; however, two individuals were transported to the hospital for additional care.
Domestic disturbances
Police attended an increased number of domestic disturbance calls throughout the week. In most cases, officers were able to mediate the situations peacefully.
Bylaw of the week: Noise bylaw
Warm summer nights are a time to gather and enjoy the season, and Weyburn’s noise bylaw helps ensure everyone can do so peacefully.
The bylaw prohibits loud, unnecessary, or unusual noise that disturbs others, whether from gatherings, vehicles, pets, or other activities. Police typically enforce the bylaw when noise complaints are received and have the authority to act when noise is excessive or persistent.
To remain within the bylaw:
- Keep music and voices at a reasonable volume.
- End loud activities at a respectful hour.
- Address noise concerns promptly if approached by a neighbour.
“By being considerate, we can all help maintain a safe, comfortable, and enjoyable atmosphere as we make the most of the final weeks of summer,” says Weyburn police.
Anyone with information regarding any of these matters, or any other matter of a criminal nature, is encouraged to contact the Weyburn Police Service at (306) 848-3250, the local RCMP Detachment at 310-RCMP (7267), or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
