The liquor store in Davidson was broken into during the early morning hours of Sunday, Sept. 9.
The culprits threw a rock through the front plate glass window to gain entry to the building, which is armed with a security system and video cameras.
The thieves stole a quantity of liquor and fled the scene, leaving a mess of broken glass and broken liquor bottles.
Later that Sunday morning, at about 7:30 a.m., Craik RCMP members responded to a report of a single vehicle collision near Girvin on Highway 11 after a car had rolled in the ditch and caught on fire.
Police report that passing motorists helped free the vehicle’s occupants, four males, from the burning car, perhaps saving their lives.
One occupant had to be airlifted to hospital in Regina while the other three were transported by ambulance to Regina.
Craik RCMP is investigating the collision. Alcohol is believed to be a factor in the collision.
Back in Davidson, Logan Tennent was asleep, unaware that his 2006 Pontiac G6 was missing from the driveway of his Washington Avenue home.
Tennent said the car had been stolen and was one involved in the single vehicle collision.
“It was in impound before I knew it was gone,” Tennent said.
This car was similar to a vehicle eyewitnesses reported seeing, at about 7 a.m., parked on 3rd Street in Davidson.
The eyewitnesses watched as three unknown males transferred goods including golf clubs and a flat-screen television from a maroon-coloured mini van into a silver car.
One witness said they had tried to put a mini-bike into the trunk of the car, but gave up, leaving it on the street, opting to take the TV instead.
The witnesses did call 911.
RCMP Cpl. Rob King said the matters are still under investigation.
