Rural crime watch group growing in numbers
Ongoing issues with vandalism and property crime are not isolated to cities, and a public meeting Thursday night was a reflection of that.
Representatives from the Rural Municipalities of Duck Lake, MacDowall, Domremy, St. Louis, Birch Hills, and Meath Park travelled to Christopher Lake and shared their stories with representatives from the RM’s of Garden River, Prince Albert, Buckland, and Paddockwood.
Prince Albert group representative Elaine McMillan said the message being sent to all rural residents is to be aware of people in your neighbourhood, who belongs and who doesn’t and to take note of one’s belongings, including the serial numbers.
“The RCMP have said they’ve got a fairly big warehouse and a lot of it has no identification on it at all. So it goes up for auction and if you have lost something, you don’t have a chance of getting it back,” she said.
