Prince Albert RCMP sent out a press release Thursday evening asking residents in the St. Louis area to report any signs of suspicious activity after reports that a suspect in an SUV had pointed a gun at another vehicle on Hwy 11.
RCMP officers attempted to pull the SUV over after locating it, but the driver sped off, evading police multiple times. Officers later found the vehicle abandoned in a treed area south of Macdowall, east of Hwy 11.
Police say all the occupants fled on foot, prompting calls for residents to lock their vehicles and homes, and report any sign of suspicious activity while RCMP and police dog units searched the north side of the South Saskatchewan River.
