The Saskatchewan RCMP is calling off its dangerous persons alert after two people were arrested in the Tobin Lake area Thursday afternoon.
Early Thursday morning, a group of armed suspects approached a construction worker at a site on White Star Road, about 14 kilometres north of Prince Albert.
According to the company RNF Ventures, a worker was shot and his truck stolen. He’s currently in hospital with serious injuries.
RCMP say at around 7:30 a.m., the man was in a vehicle near White Star Road north of Prince Albert, when he was approached by multiple suspects in a black SUV wearing black bandanas or black balaclavas.
“The adult male was shot by the suspects. The suspects stole the man’s vehicle, a white 2020 Dodge Ram, and cellphone, and abandoned the black SUV. The victim did not know the suspects” RCMP said.
An emergency alert blared out on cell phones across the province just before 10 a.m., outlining a string of armed vehicle robberies in the Prince Albert area, with three to four armed suspects last seen around 9:30 a.m. near the junction of Highway 55 and Highway 123, just west of Nipawin, Sask.
The male suspects were last seen driving a 2020 white Dodge Ram 1500 Crew Cab with green toolbox and a licence plate RNF50, and could be wearing black bandanas and balaclavas.
