CRAIK — Police are investigating following a break-in to the storage units at the Craik and District Golf Club.

Const. Kevin Morrissette of the Craik RCMP detachment said the incident was reported to police early last week.

Police found the storage units had been entered and damaged, and that some golf equipment was reported stolen.

Morrissette said the police are still determining the extent of the damage and thefts, and developing an inventory of the missing items. The case remains under investigation.

“We don’t have everyone’s statements yet,” he said. “There were quite a few units that were broken into.”

Rhonda Lang, a golfer who frequents the Craik course, said she learned of the break-ins on Wednesday. She said all the units were broken into, with all the doors suffering damage.

She said it appears the thief or thieves used a crowbar to rip the padlock off of her storage unit, leaving a hole in the door and breaking the clasp.

“They went through every pocket in the golf bags, as well as the cubby holes in the golf cart,” she said. “The golf GPS unit was stolen. We haven’t thoroughly checked yet to see what else is missing.”

The nine-hole, grass greens course is owned and operated by the Rural Municipality of Craik.

Batteries stolen from dealership

Police are also seeking the public’s help in solving a theft reported at the Young’s Equipment dealership in Davidson earlier in April.

According to a report from police, a male suspect driving a black Audi, believed to be an older model year, stole five batteries from the dealership at the south end of town on April 9.

Police say the man drove the car to the shop’s side door, loaded the 12-volt batteries into the trunk of the car and left the scene.

Anyone with relevant information is asked to contact the Craik RCMP detachment or Saskatchewan Crime Stoppers.
