A trio of situations on local highways headlined this week's Biggar RCMP report, however, one report regarding a young individual with a lead foot stole the spotlight.
Immediately sticking out in the report was police clocking a vehicle speeding at 161 km/h on Highway 14. Behind the wheel of the crossover SUV was an 18-year-old who hopefully learned their lesson after being hit with a hefty fine of $921, not the first of its kind in the area over recent months.

The next call of note came on the north/south route as a 46-year-old woman from Kindersley was pulled over and subsequently given a 3-day license suspension for operating the vehicle under the influence of marijuana. Fines were avoided, but the vehicle was impounded.
Another call taking members out of town came after a reported theft of fuel in Biggar. Members were sent to track down the culprit, later finding the 64-year-old responsible who returned with members to rectify the situation.
