WestCentral

One man on Saskatchewan’s high-risk wanted list has been arrested, but RCMP say two others remain at large in the West Central region.

Shane Conrad Scott, 55, was arrested by Swift Current Rural RCMP on June 17. He is scheduled to appear in court in Maple Creek on July 10, 2025. Scott had been wanted on a series of serious charges, including two counts of assault causing bodily harm, four counts of forcible confinement, and intimidation of a justice system participant.

Despite some higher rain totals over the past week, the Ministry of Agriculture's weekly crop report for west-central Saskatchewan is sharing that moisture is doing very little to improve growing conditions in the region, though the rain did provide relief in the fact that crops can hold on a little longer.

Leading the way was the Coleville area at 46 mm of rain. That was nearly double the amount of second place Smiley receiving 25 mm, and the Netherhill area coming in at 20. The rain was much needed and thankfully didn't come at a cost with how it was received.

With traffic expected to ramp up over the summer months, Alberta RCMP is reminding motorists to stay alert and drive safely — especially when sharing the road with large commercial vehicles.
