Wanted male, 36-year-old Allan Sanderson has been arrested in relation to a serious incident from June 19, 2022.

Sanderson was originally charged with obstruction and unauthorized possession of a firearm in a vehicle after RCMP issued a public safety alert due to two men in the area of La Ronge with handguns. The alert stated shots had been fired at police.

Police have been searching for him ever since the arrest warrant was issued on June 20, 2022.

Officers received information about the location of Sanderson before approaching the suspected vehicle at a business on Highway 2 in La Ronge.

Sanderson was found hiding under a blanket in the back seat of the vehicle. He was arrested at approximately 12:45 p.m. and an illegally-modified loaded firearm was found during a search of the vehicle.
