Rural crime issue has become heated, some farmers carrying firearms
The RCMP have provided the media with crime reports from the area surrounding Rosetown, Sask. Last month, farmers said they were carrying rifles because they feared for their safety.
The issue of rural crime became heated after a farmhand near Fiske, Sask., was allegedly approached by three masked men carrying handguns on a rural road on Sept. 19.
