Maidstone RCMP first received a report around 11 a.m. on Nov. 2 of an overnight truck theft from a home in the community. Police say a red 2006 Ford F-350 with Saskatchewan licence plate 821 NWG was taken, and no other items were reported stolen. The vehicle has not yet been found.
In the early hours of Nov. 3, at about 2:30 a.m., officers were called to a break and enter at a business in Marshall, Sask., where significant damage was discovered, though nothing was taken. Investigators determined three suspects fled in two vehicles: an early 2000s dark-coloured Ford pickup, and the stolen red Ford F-350.
The first suspect was driving the older Ford and was wearing a grey-green jacket, black hoodie, grey pants and black shoes. The two other suspects fled in the stolen truck. The passenger was wearing a black coat and light grey pants with a black stripe, while the driver wore a black jacket, grey pants and a ball cap. All three had their faces covered.
Later that morning, at about 8:45 a.m., Kitscoty RCMP received a report of an overnight break and enter at a business in Paradise Valley, Alta., where multiple items were stolen. Police say the suspects and vehicles appear to be the same ones involved in the two Saskatchewan incidents.
Both detachments continue to investigate.
Anyone with information is asked to contact RCMP at 310-RCMP. Tips can also be submitted anonymously through Saskatchewan Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or online at www.saskcrimestoppers.com.
