Stolen trucks pursued by RCMP in west-central Saskatchewan

UNITY, Sask. – A pursuit of numerous stolen vehicles in west-central Saskatchewan Monday has Mounties attempting to charge the persons involved. At around 10:45 p.m., RCMP were initially contacted by a Denzil, Sask. area farmer who discovered three trucks in his yard.

When the farmer went to confront the vehicles, they all fled and one ran over his foot. Soon after, the vehicles were reported driving erratically in the community of Macklin, Sask. and then were sighted along Highway 14.

RCMP located the vehicles and attempted to stop them. The drivers briefly stopped before speeding away with their lights off on the highway. The vehicles then headed off in separate directions.

Mounties later spotted the suspect vehicles entering the Red Pheasant Cree Nation. The drivers evaded the officers’ attempts to stop them.

One of the trucks was abandoned on the First Nation. A Remington model 750 .270 calibre rifle was in the truck when it was stolen from a farm west of Unity, Sask.

The firearm was not recovered.

A stolen 2012 white Chevrolet SLT 1500 was also recovered west of Unity.  The wind shield had bullet holes believed to have been made with the stolen rifle.

Investigators have identified several suspects in these offenses and are attempting to make arrests.

At this time, RCMP are also seeking information on the whereabouts of these vehicles:

• A red Dodge diesel 4×4 with a black slip tank in the back.
• A white 2006 Ford F350 with a chrome push bumper on the front and Saskatchewan licence 895 GRY. It was stolen from a farmyard west of Unity.
• A brown Duck Dynasty edition 2014 Chevrolet Silverado, with “camo” flares and box accents and Sask. licence 770JMR. It was stolen from a yard east of Unity.

Anyone with information is asked to contact RCMP at 306-228-6300.
