Crime

Additional arrest made in connection to car jacking near Little Red River Park

Jan 10, 2025 | 5:30 PM

A third person has been arrested and charged following a pair of carjackings that occurred last October outside Prince Albert.

Bruno Bear was not present when his case was discussed Friday morning at provincial court and adjourned to Jan. 20.

In the early morning hours of Oct. 17, two individuals in a vehicle, driving on Garden River Road, northeast of the city, approached a vehicle whose occupants appeared in need of assistance. When they stopped, a male threatened the individuals with a firearm and stole their vehicle.

No physical injuries were reported by the two individuals.

Prince Albert Police Service later received a report of a robbery near Little Red River Park. Their investigation determined two individuals were threatened with a firearm and assaulted, then their vehicle was stolen.
