SASKATCHEWAN: Update, May 28, 3:27 p.m.: Police are reporting Coutts RCMP have arrested wanted man Matthew Heidt in Coutts.
He is scheduled to appear in court in Turtleford on June 9.
Original post, May 15, 2:17 p.m: The following offenders are wanted by the Saskatchewan RCMP. These are individuals with active warrants who were last known to be living in Saskatchewan:
These suspects have been selected to appear on this list based on a review of their current criminal charges and the potential harm they present to communities in Saskatchewan. This is not a complete list of all persons wanted by the Saskatchewan RCMP.
Offenders are determined by a data-driven scoring system using the Crime Severity Index, a Statistics Canada measurement that looks at both the number and the relative severity of crimes. Factors such as age, gender, race, ethnicity, socio-economic status, religion, sexuality or disability are not considered in the scoring process.
The intent of releasing this list of wanted offenders is to encourage tips and information from the public to support RCMP investigations and lead to the arrest of these individuals. This list will be updated and distributed monthly.
Four wanted offenders from this list have been arrested in the last month:
- Pierre Andre Bouchard was arrested by Vancouver Police Department in Vancouver, on April 12. He was remanded and transported back to Saskatoon on April 17 to appear in court.
- Seagun Laliberte was arrested by Saskatchewan RCMP Prince Albert Warrant Enforcement and Suppression Team (WEST) in Cumberland House on April 16. He appeared in court on May 6.
- Darius Ryell McNab was arrested by Tisdale RCMP in Tisdale on May 2. He is scheduled to appear in court on May 20.
“These apprehensions demonstrate how frontline RCMP officers and specialized Saskatchewan RCMP units work together to arrest wanted offenders in Saskatchewan – and, in some cases, across the country,” says Supt. Glenn Church, officer in charge of Saskatchewan RCMP Saskatchewan Enforcement Response Teams (SERT), in the RCMP news release.
“For example, officers with Saskatoon RCMP and Saskatchewan RCMP’s Human Trafficking and Counter Exploitation Unit worked with the Vancouver Police Department to bring an offender back to the province to face justice. These interprovincial investigations require strong collaboration across jurisdictions to ensure offenders are held accountable.”
The Saskatchewan RCMP routinely reviews and evaluates offenders included on this wanted list. As a result of a review at the beginning of May, four suspects have been added to the list based on their current Crime Severity Index scores.
Do not attempt to contact, approach or apprehend these individuals on your own. If you recognize any of these offenders and have information regarding their whereabouts, activities or associations, call 310-RCMP (7257) or 911 in an emergency.
