‘No one is immune’ says Sask. MLA after vehicle theft
A Prince Albert area politician has a new perspective on rural crime after being targeted herself recently by a thief.
Nadine Wilson, member of the Saskatchewan Legislative Assembly (MLA) for Saskatchewan Rivers, had her truck stolen from her rural property north of Prince Albert. Wilson serves on several rural crime committees, and is regularly asked to speak on the provincial response to rural crime at local rural crime watch meetings.
“But when a person actually experiences it and walks in someone else’s shoes, you are much more empathetic and that’s when it hits you, you realize the economic and the personal impact,” she said.
As of Friday, Wilson’s truck has not been located. The matter was still the subject of an active investigation by the RCMP. According to Wilson, she and her husband thought they had a good security system in place.
