A youth in North Battleford, Sask., is accused of forcibly removing someone from their home overnight in an effort to get money from a cash machine.
Battlefords RCMP were told of an abandoned vehicle at the intersection of 15th Avenue and 95th Street just after 4:45 a.m. CT Wednesday.
While carrying out their investigation, officers received another call that an armed person had entered a home in the 1300-block of 97th Street and demanded money.
He then is alleged to have forced someone from the home and drive downtown to get money from a financial institution.
The vehicle, suspect and victim were quickly located and a 17-year-old boy was taken into custody.
Charges have yet to be laid and the youth will be held in custody pending a court appearance.
Police continue to investigate and are asking anyone with information or video surveillance to contact Battlefords RCMP at 306-446-1720.
