RCMP in Saskatchewan are asking rural residents not to take the law into their own hands.
Sgt. Earl LeBlanc says the force is aware of reports some farmers are carrying guns during harvest in response to crime in rural areas.
“If you observe or suspect a crime, for your own safety and the safety of others, report it to the police immediately,” LeBlanc said in a news conference Wednesday afternoon in Regina.
“Do not chase or pursue suspects or suspect vehicles. Do not attempt to subdue suspects either with or without a firearm.”
