The Unity RCMP played a helping hand during a recent investigation involving the Saskatoon Police Service. The incident was included in the Saskatchewan RCMP's latest weekly, "on duty in your community" report.

On March 10 the Saskatoon Police Service got into contact with the Unity RCMP following a theft inside the city. A flat-deck trailer and a side-by-side was taken earlier that day from a Saskatoon residence, leading police to request assistance in locating the stolen property.

Back on Sunday morning at approximately 2:20 a.m., Kindersley RCMP received a report that a firearm was discharged at a residence in Major, SK.

Officers immediately responded. Investigation determined an unknown individual or individuals discharged two to three rounds from a firearm, striking the residence.

One bullet entered the residence, striking a piece of furniture. An occupant reported a non-life-threatening injury to police, which was treated by EMS at the scene.
