Prince Albert RCMP are looking for a male and female suspect as part of a vehicle theft investigation in the Birch Hills area.
On February 7, 2026, Prince Albert RCMP received a report of a suspicious truck on Fenton Ferry Road, southeast of Prince Albert. Prince Albert and Melfort RCMP began patrolling the area in search of the vehicle.
Around 4:00 p.m., Melfort RCMP located a truck matching the suspicious vehicle’s description in Birch Hills. Officers activated their vehicle’s emergency equipment and initiated a traffic stop. The truck did not stop for police; it fled heading north on Highway #3.
Shortly after, Prince Albert RCMP observed a truck matching the suspicious vehicle’s description pass them at a high rate of speed on Highway #3. The truck then stopped in the middle of the highway, blocking an oncoming SUV. As officers were approaching the scene in their police vehicle, a male and a female got out of the truck and forcefully removed the driver of the SUV from their vehicle. The male and female then got into the SUV and fled at a high rate of speed, heading south towards Birch Hills on Highway #3. The victim was taken to hospital by EMS with injuries described as non-life-threatening in nature.
Prince Albert RCMP continued to search the area for the suspects and stolen SUV.
On February 8, the stolen SUV was located abandoned near Macdowall, SK. The SUV was recovered by Prince Albert RCMP.
Prince Albert RCMP continue to investigate and are asking the public for their assistance.
