DAVIDSON—Police are looking for information to help find the person responsible for stealing a Ford pick-up truck in Davidson.
Craik RCMP report that on Sunday, June 10, sometime between 3 and 7 p.m., a late 1990s Ford F-150 black, regular cab pick-up truck with a step-side box was stolen from a residence on the 200 block of Government Road in Davidson.
The suspect in the theft of the truck is described a First Nations female, in her early 20s, of average height and weight with shorter hair. The truck’s owner, prior to the theft, invited the unidentified suspect to the residence.
One wheel short
Craik RCMP is seeking the public’s help in its investigation of the theft of some rally wheels in Girvin.
Sometime between Saturday, May 26 and Thursday, June 7, three 15-inch factory rally wheels were stolen off a pick-up truck parked in a field at Girvin.
Craik RCMP report that the suspect(s) took the unusual step of lifting the truck and placing it on top of other wheels so that the vehicle would not be left sitting on the ground.
If anyone has information about these crimes, they are asked to contact the Craik RCMP at 1-306-734-5200 or Saskatchewan Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
The Lions held a regional cavalcade in Craik June 9 in conjunction with the Ride for Dog Guide. Motorcyclists cruised to and through Craik to raise money for the Dog Guide program. Craik and District Lions Club hosted the Lions Cavalcade, which cycles through various communities; this was the first time in a long time the event was held in Craik. Funds raised go towards diabetes awareness and research.

Craik and District Lions club past-president Katie Ball found herself on the inside looking out. She was arrested last Friday for “going postal”. (She works at the local post office.) While in the lockup she racked up more charges, including one for kidnapping Holly Vibert, who was also charged with “being too cute”. It was all in good fun though, part of the Lions Club’s Jail & Bail event June 8 to raise money for the Dog Guides program.
