Prince Albert RCMP says after smashing into a power pole, the driver of the vehicle then attempted to steal three other uninvolved vehicles. One of those vehicles left the road and entered a slough during the driver’s altercation with the suspect.

The events occurred late Friday afternoon northwest of Prince Albert near Wahpeton Dakota Nation.

According to information provided by the RCMP, a vehicle was driving erratically at a high rate of speed on Whitefield Road. The vehicle lost control and collided with a power pole.

The suspect, armed with a firearm, then attempted to steal three other uninvolved vehicles. One of those vehicles left the road and entered a slough during the driver’s altercation with the suspect.

The occupant of the third vehicle exited their vehicle after the suspect shot a firearm into the air; the suspect got in this third vehicle and drove away. The vehicle was later located abandoned in Prince Albert by Prince Albert Police Service.
