Truck stolen from Davidson

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).

Bet Honoured

Tim Broadis, manager of Riverbend Co-op’s Davidson location celebrates as Marie Nadeau makes good on a bet between Affinity Credit Union and Riverbend Co-op. She had to wear a Co-op T-shirt to work at Affinity’s branch in Davidson last Monday. Nadeau and Broadis held a challenge to see which organization could raise the most money for the Heart and Stroke Foundation’s Big Bike fundraiser on May 29. The loser had to wear a T-shirt from winner’s organization. In total, $2,800 was raised with Riverbend employees raising $1,600 and Affinity’s staff coming up short, raising $1,200.
