Kindersley RCMP Request the Public’s Help in Locating Stolen Gates
By Kindersley RCMP
Sometime between July 2nd and July 9th thieve(s) stole the cemetery gates that were being repaired at Merrington Cemetery. ‘These are pretty distinct items and have the cemetery’s name right on them. We are hoping that if someone saw these items being taken or knows of their whereabouts that they give us a call.’ stated Staff Sergeant Kevin Peterson. ‘If someone does have information about the gates there is always the option to call Crime Stoppers as well.’ Peterson went on to say.
With the theft of the gates and some more reported thefts in and around Kindersley the Kindersley RCMP would like to get the public thinking about taking steps to help prevent these thefts from happening.
The Kindersley RCMP offer these tips for theft prevention:
- Lock your vehicles and equipment. Don’t leave valuables, tools or keys in them.
- Lock and secure your home, sheds and slip tanks.
- Consider lights with motion sensors, as well as a monitored security or alarm system.
- Report suspicious people and/or vehicles to police.
- Report crimes, even if they are small, to police as soon as possible. When all crimes are reported to the police, officers get a clearer picture of the types and numbers of crimes occurring in their area. This information helps them launch future police projects, initiatives and education campaigns.
The Kindersley RCMP also want to remind all area residents that security cameras act as a good theft deterrent as well as assist the RCMP with investigations. If you have a security camera you are reminded that the Kindersley RCMP has a security camera registry and you can always voluntarily register your camera at saskcapturecw.ca. By registering your security camera, it greatly assists the RCMP and the community with detecting criminals in the area.
