Scrap metal theft

Craik RCMP are investigating the theft of metal from the Davidson NAPA yard.

Sometime between 5 p.m. May 10 and 6:30 a.m. May 11, Scrap metal including radiators and air-to-air exchangers were stolen from the NAPA yard. Clayton Schilling, owner of NAPA, said the thieves came back last Tuesday night (May 15) and stole the remainder of the material that they didn’t take the first time around. The stolen metal is big, so mostly likely the suspects loaded the items into a truck. Const. Kam Hay of the Craik RCMP reported that scrap metal thefts are becoming more common in recent years due to the increased value of metal.

If anyone has information about this or other crimes, they may contact Craik RCMP at 306-734-5200 or Saskatchewan Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
