DAVIDSON—A truck that was stolen from Davidson on Sept. 27 was recovered in a field in Regina the following morning.

Sometime in the early morning hours of Thursday, Sept. 27 between 2 and 4 a.m., a white Ford F-350 Super Duty diesel pickup truck was stolen from a Herman Crescent residence in Davidson.

Craik RCMP issued a notice about the theft, seeking the public’s help in catching the culprits.

Const. Matthew Sansoucy of the Craik RCMP Detachment said the truck was recovered at about 8:30 a.m., Friday, Sept. 28 in Regina, abandoned in a field.

He said these types of trucks are used as fleet vehicles and are popular with thieves because they are easy to steal, are common and thieves will often swap licenses plates on the trucks to try to avoid detection.

 

Stolen tools

On Wednesday, Sept. 26 some tools were stolen from the bed of a pickup truck parked at a residence at the corner of Government Road and Francis Street.

Someone out for an early morning walk noticed the truck’s tailgate was open and items were strewn on the ground. He alerted the truck’s owner Mike Hoehn.

Some tools were missing and it appeared the culprits had tried to take the slip tank out of the back of the truck. They were unsuccessful in the attempt.

Craik RCMP are investigating both of these crimes and ask that anyone who has information that would help to contact them at 306-734-5200 or Saskatchewan Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
