Battlefords RCMP searching for multiple armed suspects

Oct 24, 2022 | 8:48 AM

RCMP are looking for multiple armed suspects after several incidents over the last few days.

Just before 9 p.m. on Oct. 21, Battlefords RCMP received a report of a single-vehicle rollover on Mosquito First Nation. A man carrying a bag and firearm got out of the vehicle and walked away heading west. Police searched the area but could not find him.

RCMP believe the crashed vehicle was involved in a report of armed individuals in a truck in Maidstone and a flight from police in the Lloydminster area earlier that day.

Around 8:40 p.m. on Oct. 23, RCMP received a report that the man from the crashed vehicle and six to eight other people were at a gas station on Mosquito First Nation. Police immediately responded but are still trying to locate the suspects.

The suspects are believed to be driving a newer model white Dodge Ram four door pick-up, and a black Jeep Cherokee. Police say the individuals were wearing white masks, possibly Halloween masks.
