Crime of the Week #1 (RERUN)
To air: January 2 – 8, 2012
Topic: “Don’t Be That Guy” Poster Campaign
Saskatoon Crime Stoppers, along with the Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority, Saskatoon Sexual Assault and Information Centre and the Saskatoon Police Service have launched a new poster campaign, “Don’t Be That Guy”. The campaign is aimed at raising awareness about sexual assault and specifically drug and alcohol facilitated sexual assault.
A young man is helping a young woman into a car. Her dress is wrinkled and her high-heels are falling off. She is hanging onto the man with one hand while carrying a Mickey in the other. The message; “Just because you help her home….doesn’t mean you get to help yourself.”
Another young woman is seen lying face down on a sofa, surrounded by empty bottles and a spilled glass of wine. “Just because she isn’t saying no…doesn’t mean she’s saying yes.”
It’s estimated that the use of drugs or alcohol plays a role in 60% of sexual assaults reported to police. Messages displayed on the posters are designed to make men think about the boundaries between consensual sexual contact and criminal sexual assault.
The posters will be displayed in bars, lounges, liquor stores and on the U of S campus. Crime Stoppers pays cash for information leading to an arrest. You won’t be asked your name and you won’t have to go to court. If you have information on any unsolved crime in Saskatoon call
Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477, go to www.saskatooncrimestoppers.com, or text “TIP210 with your message” to “CRIMES” at 274637.

Topic: Break, Enter and Theft to Business
This week Crime Stoppers needs your help solving a break, enter and theft which occurred at a tire shop located in the 2300 block of 8th Street East.
Sometime between 7:00 p.m. on Saturday, November 26th and 2:00 p.m. on Monday, November 28th, 2011, thieves gained access to a shipping container used for storage located at the east side of the business. A cutting tool defeated the latch causing no damage to the heavy duty lock itself. Once inside the container, new tires valued at thousands of dollars were removed. A vehicle such as a cubed van or a flat deck truck was likely used to transport the size and weight of the tires. A pickup truck or several would need to make multiple trips in order to haul away the amount stolen. A coffee shop with drive thru directly beside the storage container is host to a high volume of customers. If the theft occurred business hours someone may have witnessed the crime.
As a result the tire shop will no longer utilize the container for storing merchandise.
Crime Stoppers pays cash for information leading to an arrest. You won’t be asked your name and you won’t have to go to court. If you have information on this crime, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477. Go to saskatooncrimestoppers.com or text “TIP210 with your message” to “CRIMES” at 274637.
