Onion Lake RCMP search for armed, dangerous suspects
Onion Lake RCMP are asking for public assistance in locating four individuals fleeing from police.
Tuesday evening, law enforcement received information from another detachment about a vehicle that fled from police near Paradise Hill. The van was believed to have a wanted, dangerous male inside.
Following attempts by Onion Lake RCMP to stop the vehicle before it headed north on Highway 17, the van entered a roadway and pulled into a driveway of a residence. Officers witnessed seven occupants exit the vehicle and flee on foot toward the bushes. The male driver was seen in possession of a firearm, police said in a media release.
Police took two adult females and the adult male into custody, the latter whom officers believed to be dangerous and wanted on warrants. All three are from Onion Lake First Nation, while the identities of the other four suspects are unknown at this time. A search of the vehicle resulted in the seizure of two firearms, ammunition, several edged weapons and drugs.
