Just before 5:30 p.m. on October 7th, Biggar RCMP were dispatched to a report of an attempted robbery in Arelee, and that investigation has led to charges for three males. Police were told a male approached a man, assaulted him and unsuccessfully attempted to steal his vehicle. He then fled in the SUV he arrived in, which had two other males inside. The victim received minor injuries.

Officers located the SUV and attempted to pull it over, but it fled. Later, North Battleford RCMP found the vehicle stopped for them.
One male was taken into custody and two others fled, but were later caught.

Thirty year old Blair Brabant of Red Pheasant First Nation is charged with accessory after the fact to Robbery and break and enter. Twenty-nine year old Rocky Meechance of Yorkton faces the same charges, along with others including flight from a peace officer, dangerous driving and fraudulently impersonating another person with intent to avoid persecution. The charges for a male youth include robbery, break and enter, and resisting arrest.
