On September 12, 2025, around 4:45 p.m., Battlefords RCMP Crime Reduction Team Gang Task Force located a truck reported stolen out of Turtleford driving in North Battleford. The truck parked outside an apartment building on 108^th Street in North Battleford and police officers attempted to block the truck with a police vehicle to prevent it from driving away.

The truck reversed into two other civilian vehicles and the police vehicle. The truck then drove forward and attempted to flee, driving through a fence and colliding with a tree in the backyard of a property nearby.
