From the RCMP:
On Saturday, June 19, 2021 around 3:00 a.m., Ahtahkakoop/Shellbrook RCMP received a complaint of a robbery with a firearm at a rural location in the RM of Shellbrook.
Initial investigation revealed four unknown individuals entered two buildings at that location. Four firearms, an ATV and a truck were reported stolen.
The individuals then entered a residence at the same location, where they were confronted by the homeowner, and then left. A firearm was discharged through a window into the residence and the individuals left in an unknown direction driving the stolen truck. The individuals inside the residence were not physically injured.
While the above investigation was ongoing, around 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, July 19, Prince Albert RCMP responded to a call indicating the truck stolen in the above incident was at a business in Shellbook. While responding, officers received another call indicating the stolen truck was now stuck in a ditch on grid road #788. Investigation has revealed a number of individuals were seen getting into another truck and, when leaving the area, a firearm was discharged at two members of the public before the truck drove away.
Officers attempted to initiate a traffic stop with this truck, but it drove away and through a field towards a nearby residence. Four individuals exited the vehicle and ran on foot in separate directions. One adult male was arrested by police shortly after and has since been released without charges.
Prince Albert Police Service Police Dog Services (PAPSPDS) and other Prince Albert Police Service officers attended to assist RCMP. Two more individuals were arrested with the assistance of PAPSPDS. One individual was not located. Two firearms were recovered by police from the area, along with ammunition.
