One individual remains at large after Little Pine First Nation was the scene of two violent home invasions last Friday.
Friday, Sept 5 at 4:04 p.m., Cut Knife RCMP members responded to the scene. According to police, two men and women had forcibly entered each residence brandishing a rifle and assaulting the lone occupants inside their respective homes. The suspects are alleged to have broken windows and damaged both residences, and stole an undisclosed amount of money.
Two male victims, aged 50 and 42, were at home at the time of the incidents, say police. One was transported by EMS to Battlefords Union Hospital for treatment and has been released.
Later that evening, Cut Knife RCMP say, they located and arrested three of the perpetrators.
Stacey Fox, 37, made his first appearance in provincial court in North Battleford Monday. He is charged with pointing a firearm, robbery with a firearm, two counts of breaking and entering, assault, mischief under $5,000, assault causing bodily harm and possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose.
Shailynn Littlechild, 21, was remanded and appeared in provincial court charged with two counts, breaking, entering and one count each of mischief and robbery with a firearm.
The third suspect, a 28-year-old woman, is released on conditions to appear at Cut Knife Provincial Court Nov. 4.
One suspect remains at large and an arrest warrant has been issued:
Wanted is Preston Boyd Wahobin, 32, who has been known to reside in the Cut Knife area, Saskatoon, Edmonton or Calgary, Alta.
Elsie Darlene McArthur, 30, turned herself in to Cut Knife RCMP detachment. She was taken into custody and appeared in North Battleford Provincial Court Friday.
