Three people are facing numerous charges after Prince Albert RCMP recovered stolen vehicles, firearms and hundreds of suspected stolen items from a residence on Wahpeton First Nation.
RCMP say officers were called to a residence on Nov. 12 after receiving a report of a stolen vehicle.
When officers arrived, they located a black Chrysler 300 and a red Dodge Caravan outside the home. Police said both vehicles are connected to an ongoing investigation into a reported abduction that occurred Nov. 11.
Police contained the area with assistance from Saskatchewan RCMP Police Dog Services and identified three suspects at the residence.
An adult woman was arrested without incident, while two men fled in the Dodge Caravan. Officers pursued the vehicle, deployed a tire deflation device and eventually stopped the van. The two suspects then fled on foot into a wooded area before being located and arrested with the help of a remotely piloted aircraft system and Police Dog Services.
RCMP also seized two firearms, including one that was loaded, from a ditch near the abandoned vehicle.
20-year-old Jerome Bighetty of Sandy Bay, 21-year-old Dilynn Dumont of Saskatoon and 26-year-old Joshua Goodvoice of Prince Albert each face charges including resisting a peace officer, possession of property obtained by crime over $5,000, unauthorized possession of a firearm, possession of a restricted firearm and careless use of a firearm.
Bighetty also faces additional weapons prohibition and release order violation charges, while Dumont is charged with failing to comply with release order conditions.
Goodvoice faces additional weapons prohibition charges and one count of flight from a peace officer.
All three accused remain in custody and are scheduled to appear in Prince Albert Provincial Court on Nov. 16.
During a subsequent search of the property, officers recovered hundreds of suspected stolen items, including three vehicles, three motorcycles, four ATVs, four firearms and a large quantity of tools, welders and generators. Investigators have already confirmed some of the seized property belongs to individuals both inside and outside the Prince Albert RCMP detachment area.
RCMP are asking anyone who has had property stolen that has not yet been reported to police to come forward with proof of ownership, serial numbers or other identifying information to assist investigators in returning items to their owners.
Prince Albert RCMP say the investigation remains ongoing.
