The four-day operation saw Saskatchewan RCMP execute 15 arrest warrants for charges including kidnapping with a firearm, flight from police, impersonation and failure to comply with court ordered conditions and multiple assault and firearms-related charges. Eight males and two females were arrested.
In addition to the warrants, 12 additional Criminal Code charges were laid in relation to the ongoing investigations. Officers also recovered four vehicles that were previously reported as stolen to police.
Of the 10 arrested, nine were remanded into RCMP custody until their court appearances. One individual was released from custody pending their next court appearance.
“This is just one of many examples of how targeted enforcement, the skills of our specialized units and our detachments’ intelligence are utilized to ensure violent offenders are held accountable,” said Turtleford RCMP Staff Sgt. Ken Burnouf.
