Maidstone RCMP advise residents to be aware of potential paving fraud.

2025-10-28, 2:13 p.m.

On October 28, 2025, Maidstone RCMP received a report of suspicious persons potentially engaging in fraudulent behaviour in the RM of Wilton.

Two individuals in a truck approached a residence, offering asphalt paving services. The property representatives noted some red flags and did not provide any payment. The individuals are described as wearing high-visibility clothing and one spoke with a heavy accent, potentially British or Scottish.

Maidstone RCMP are aware that other RCMP detachments and police services in Saskatchewan have received reports of potential asphalt-related frauds this year and wish to remind residents to take precautions to prevent becoming a victim of fraud.

Always research contractors before engaging services, including checking reviews of their work. Obtain a written quote before proceeding with work, which should specify the service and materials being provided. Don’t be afraid to say no. Don’t be intimidated by high-pressure sales tactics, including requests to make a decision or provide payment right away.

Anyone who has information about this incident or who thinks they have been a victim of fraud should report it to police by dialling 310-RCMP. Information can also be submitted anonymously by contacting Saskatchewan Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or www.saskcrimestoppers.com

Effective Immediately - Fire Ban

The R.M. of Wilton has issued a Complete Fire Ban as of April 29.  This ban will remain in effect until conditions improve.  At this time recreational fires are still permitted within the Town of Marshall.  Please refer to the Town of Marshall’s Open Fire and Fireworks Bylaw 03-2019 for specific guidelines on acceptable firepits and regulations regarding fires within town limits.  A copy of this bylaw can be found on the town website www.townofmarshall.ca, or it can be obtained at the town office.

Remember that a small spark can cause a catastrophic fire in these dry conditions.  Keep the fire small and always use a grate.  DO NOT have a fire if there is a wind.  Make sure to supervise your fire at all times.  If you see smoke that you know is not from a firepit, please call 911 immediately!

Keep informed of the current conditions regarding fires as bans may change at a moments notice.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding your firepit, the bylaw or fire bans please call the office.  Check our news section on the website for more information.
