RCMP ask public to watch for stolen golf clubs

Leave a reply

The Unity RCMP are asking the public to be aware that a large number of golf clubs were stolen from the storage units at the Unity Golf Course overnight June 29-30. Police are asking for the public’s assistance in reporting any suspicious advertising of high-end golf clubs for sale at lower than fair market prices as it is expected that, with the quantity of golf clubs stolen, they are being sold by the thieves rather than being kept for their personal use.

The Unity RCMP also is asking for the public’s assistance in identifying the persons responsible for the break and enter and theft at the Unity & District Regional Park golf course, near Unity, Saskatchewan.

Between 10:30 p.m. June 29 and 7a.m. June 30, unknown persons broke into two large storage shed structures at the golf course. Each contained multiple individual cart and club storage units. Once inside of the buildings, the thieves went through the individual storage units and stole a large amount of brand name golf equipment. Several complete bags of clubs were stolen, while other property owners reported the suspects had gone through their bags and only stolen the newer, name-brand clubs.

At this time the RCMP can say that several complete sets of Taylor Made clubs were stolen. Other brand names that were targeted were Callaway, Ping and Nike as well as some others. The total value of the thefts is yet to be determined, but one set of clubs that was stolen was valued at $4,000.

If you have information about the identity of the suspects involved in these offences or if you see golf clubs advertised at lower than normal prices, you are asked to contact the Unity RCMP at 306-228-6300. If you wish to remain anonymous, you may also call Saskatchewan Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477, or *8477 on the SaskTel Mobility Network. Crime Stoppers will pay up to $2,000 for information which leads to the arrest of person(s) responsible for any serious crime. Crime Stoppers is anonymous and does not subscribe to call display, nor are your calls traced or recorded.You can also submit a tip online at www.saskcrimestoppers.com.

Canada Road Safety Week

Leave a reply

May 12-18, 2015 will mark Canada Road Safety Week, a national campaign aimed at making Canada’s roads the safest in the world. Motorists are reminded to drive safe and be alert this long weekend as they begin their summer travels.

The Unity/Wilkie/Macklin RCMP detachment will be actively supporting this traffic safety initiative. Expect to see police officers out and about conducting traffic stops pursuant to The Saskatchewan Traffic Safety Act this week.

Sgt. Grant Rusk also wants “to remind the motoring public that the speed limit when passing — both oncoming and overtaking stopped on roadside — emergency vehicles with their lights activated is 60 kilometres an hour. Tickets for violations of this speed limit start at $210 plus a $60 victim surcharge.

The tagline for Canada Road Safety week is “Drive safe. The life you save may be your own!” Drivers are encouraged to be sober and alert, ensure occupants are buckled up and children properly secured, remain focused on their driving and not be distracted when behind the wheel and to obey posted speed limits.
