On October 7, 2021 at approximately 5:20 p.m., Biggar RCMP were dispatched to a report of an attempted robbery in Arelee, SK.

Investigation has determined that a male approached a man, assaulted him and unsuccessfully attempted to steal his vehicle. The suspect then fled in the SUV he arrived in, which had two other male occupants in it. The victim received minor injuries.

Officers located the SUV and attempted to pull it over, but it fled. Later, North Battleford RCMP located the SUV. Officers activated their vehicle’s emergency equipment and followed the SUV, which came to a stop.

One male was taken into custody and two others fled on foot. With the assistance of North Battleford Police Dog Services, the two other males were taken into custody.
