MEADOW LAKE – RCMP are still searching for a woman who has been wanted by police for eight months in connection to incidents where two women had fingers cut off.
Chantal Roy, 24, remains at large and faces two counts of kidnapping using a prohibited firearm, two counts of aggravated assault, two counts of uttering threats, using a firearm in the commission of an offence, and possession of a firearm knowing its possession is unauthorized.
“Chantel Roy is still wanted on an arrest warrant and Meadow Lake RCMP are working to locate her,” an RCMP spokesperson told SASKTODAY.ca Wednesday in an email.
A trial for Roy’s co-accused, Jerrico Lasas, Ronald Campbell, Kayla Lasas, and Brian Maurice, is scheduled for Oct. 26 in Meadow Lake Provincial Court.
All five were charged following three separate incidents that occurred on the same day. Meadow Lake RCMP say that all three incidents are related and involve street gangs.
Meadow Lake RCMP say that on Feb. 11 they received a report that a man was banging on the door of a home in Meadow Lake and yelling that someone was going to shoot him. A vehicle pulled up to the residence, a man got out and forced him into the vehicle.
About 10 minutes later, police got a call that a woman had three fingers cut off and was seeking help at a home in Meadow Lake. Five minutes later, police got a report that a second woman had two fingers cut off, had serious injuries, and was seeking help at a home on Flying Dust First Nation. Both women were taken to hospital.
RCMP released Roy's photo in February and asked the public for tips. Roy is 5-foot-4, 130 pounds, has black hair, brown eyes, and a butterfly tattoo on her right wrist and a mother-holding-child tattoo on her left arm. Police say she may be in Meadow Lake.
“Anyone with information on her whereabouts should contact police or Crime Stoppers,” said the RCMP spokesperson.
