Police patrol located three youths with spray paint cans and tagging a building on the northwest side of the city on Oct. 24. Consequently, the youths were charged with mischief under $5,000. Their court date is set for Nov. 26.

Officers receive a report from a local landlord who was assaulted by a male who hit him with a chair on Oct. 25. Matters are still under investigation. Anyone with any information about this incident is asked to contact Weyburn Police Service or Crime Stoppers.

Police were called to help locate a 25-year-old male who threw a chair through the window of a provincial building on Oct. 25. Officers were able to de-escalate the man and help reconnect him with helping services. Charges are pending.

Patrol continues to monitor schools for traffic and parking violations. Police are asking citizens to be mindful of posted signage in these areas and to abide by them for the safety of students and all pedestrians.

Motorists also need to be mindful of school posted “buses only, do not enter signs.” Vehicle/pedestrian trespassing to these areas can pose great danger to themselves and or students who are entering and exiting the buses. Police are asking both motorists and students to use extreme caution to prevent accidents in “bus danger zones.”

Danger zones are areas around the bus where students/pedestrians are most at risk from being injured or killed by their own bus or by a passing vehicle. Danger zones are considered to be areas up to 10 feet around the bus. Entering such school bus parking lot areas in a vehicle or on foot may result in consequences.
