Saskatoon Crime Stoppers post cheeky plea for help in search for suspects
Saskatoon Crime Stoppers has identified two men in connection with a recent incident in that city and say at least one of them has ties to Prince Albert.
The organization posted a tongue-in-cheek message to their Facebook page this week asking for the public’s help in locating the two men. Saskatoon Crime Stoppers say the men have now been identified, but would not give their names as charges are pending.
“Now they haven’t been arrested yet. And we have reason to believe that at least one of them may be in the Prince Albert area and could be staying at a hotel or motel,” the post reads. “Your assignment, should you chose to accept (and we know you will), is to make sure this message reaches all the hotels up there. We are sure a bellhop or manager wouldn’t mind giving a tip for some extra cash.”
Saskatoon Crime Stoppers posted a photo of the men Oct. 30, saying they were wanted in connection with a rash of mailbox thefts. Cst. Ryan Ehalt manages the Saskatoon Crime Stoppers Facebook page and said he tries to write witty or even emotional posts that tap into the general public’s response to crime in their community.
