On Sept. 29 at approximately 5:00 pm, Lloydminster RCMP General Investigation Section members observed a high risk offender who was wanted on outstanding warrants from several jurisdictions, driving in Lloydminster.
Police followed the vehicle to a residence located near 15Â Street and 48 Ave., however, the offender fled on foot through several backyards to avoid arrest.
Lloydminster RCMP received numerous 911 calls from the public in relation to the location of the wanted male. With the assistance of the Lloydminster RCMP Crime Reduction Unit and Police Dog Services, police were able to arrest the male.
Mitchell Moyah of Edmonton has been charged with:
- Possession of cocaine for the purpose of trafficking.
- Resist arrest.
- Possession of property obtained by crime for the purpose of trafficking under $5000.
- Possess weapons contrary to order x 2.

The Lloydminster RCMP would like to thank all of the members of the public that called to report the subject’s location during this unfolding incident, as it contributed greatly to the eventual capture.
