Young offenders in custody in connection with a break and enter at a residence in Denholm early Thursday morning of last week have had their matters adjourned.
Two young offenders were in court Monday. One was due to return to court March 1 and the other March 16, oth for bail hearings.
Battlefords RCMP are reporting they received the complaint about 5:20 a.m. RCMP were told the culprits had left the area and made off with several guns, including a number of high-calibre hunting rifles.
Police then turned their attention to the suspects’ vehicle, which was spotted going westbound at a high rate of speed. RCMP followed it through North Battleford. They attempted a vehicle stop in the city’s north end, but it failed to stop and instead turned north onto Hwy 4.
A pursuit followed and an RCMP vehicle maneuvered ahead of the suspect vehicle to get them to slow down by reducing speed ahead of them. Instead, the suspect vehicle rear-ended the RCMP vehicle and came to a stop. At that point the suspects were arrested. Their vehicle had considerable damage but no one was injured.
Several high calibre rifles were seized from the vehicle that matched the description of those stolen from Denholm.
