Shortly after 2 a.m. on September 7, 2025, Battlefords RCMP received a report of a theft from a worksite north of North Battleford, SK.
Investigation determined unknown individuals entered the worksite and stole two trucks – an F150 truck and a flat deck truck.
Officers responded and located the F150 truck near Moosomin First Nation.
Officers activated their vehicle’s emergency equipment and initiated a traffic stop.
The truck came to a stop. As officers began approaching the vehicle on foot, the truck drove away at a high rate of speed.
For safety reasons, a tire deflation device was set up in the RM of Meota and the F150 truck ran it over.
The F150 truck continued to drive at a reduced speed for a short distance before entering a field and becoming disabled.
Two occupants exited the truck and fled on foot. With the assistance of Saskatchewan RCMP’s Police Dog Services, two adult males were arrested.
Officers located the flat deck truck disabled in a ditch in a rural area. The vehicle had no occupants.
