Ringing phone leads Battlefords RCMP to arrest robbery suspect

Mar 10, 2026 | 12:05 PM

A ringing phone has helped Battlefords RCMP dial in on a robbery suspect.  

On March 7, around 7:30 a.m., RCMP received a report of a robbery at a business on the Highway 16 Bypass in North Battleford.  

Further investigation found that a man threatened a person with a firearm and demanded their phone and wallet. No injuries were reported.  

Officers used a GPS service and determined the stolen phone was just outside the business. They stepped outside, dialed the stolen phone’s number and heard it ringing. They arrested the adult man who was in possession of the phone.  

RCMP then searched a room in the business and seized a sawed-off firearm, ammunition, and a baton.
