Onion Lake RCMP responded to a report of a stolen all-terrain vehicle at approximately 5:30 p.m. on Oct. 22. According to police, the suspects pointed firearms at individuals when confronted.
Officers patrolling the area located the abandoned stolen ATV before spotting individuals matching the suspect descriptions traveling in a grey car. When police attempted a traffic stop, the vehicle fled. Officers successfully deployed a tire deflation device, which the car drove over before the occupants fled on foot.
With assistance from RCMP Police Dog Services, officers tracked the suspects to a residence on the Onion Lake First Nation. A male hiding in the bushes was arrested, treated for minor injuries related to the canine deployment, and later released on an undertaking. Three additional people inside the residence were also arrested, one of whom was subsequently released without charges.
A subsequent search of the suspect vehicle led officers to seize cocaine, ammunition, and evidence of drug trafficking.
