Around 3:45 p.m. Thursday Prince Albert RCMP received a report that a person driving in an SUV, going northbound on Highway #11, was possibly pointing a firearm at another vehicle.  No one was injured.

Officers located a suspect vehicle and tried to pull it over, but it sped off, evading police multiple times.  RCMP officers located the vehicle abandoned in a treed area south of Macdowall, east of Highway #11.  Initial investigation has determined at least one person in the vehicle fled on foot and their current whereabouts are unknown. There is no suspect description, and a firearm has not been located.

RCMP are asking the public to please report any suspicious people or activity if you live in this area and ensure your homes and vehicles are locked. Call 911 in an emergency. RCMP officers continue to actively search the area on the north side of the South Saskatchewan River. The public can expect an increased police presence in the area due to this ongoing investigation.

The Prince Albert RCMP investigation is being assisted by the Saskatchewan RCMP’s Critical Incident Response Team, Police Dog Services and other specialized units.
