Rosetown RCMP advises residents to be aware of potential paving fraud

On May 8, 2025, Rosetown RCMP received a report of a potential fraud in Rosetown.

A group of individuals approached a business, offering paving services. They offered the services for a lower-than-market price if they completed the work immediately. The business noted some red flags and did not provide any payment.

As a result of continued investigation, Rosetown RCMP believe that others in central and west-central Saskatchewan may have also been approached by these individuals offering paving services. Investigators would like to speak with anyone who has.

The investigation continues. Part of it will be determining if any potential completed transaction is criminal in nature. Note that some concerns with services businesses provide are civil in nature.

Rosetown RCMP has also received recent reports of thefts of asphalt materials. It’s unknown if they are connected and they remain under investigation.

Anyone with information should contact their local police of jurisdiction. Dial 310-RCMP to reach your local RCMP detachment. Information can also be submitted anonymously by contacting Saskatchewan Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or www.saskcrimestoppers.com.
