A suspicious vehicle reported to Prince Albert RCMP on Saturday, led to the recovery of a stolen truck, and the seizure of multiple weapons including a sawed-off firearm and an axe.

The vehicle was initially observed in the RM of Buckland.

When officers responded and located the truck, the driver attempted to flee from them.

The truck struck a police vehicle, then entered a ditch. The driver was arrested.

No injuries were reported as a result of the collision.

The weapons were all found inside the truck.

Through their investigation, police determined the truck had been reported as stolen in Prince Albert.

Elizabeth Sanderson, 24, from Sturgeon Lake First Nation is facing nearly 11 charges related to guns, dangerous driving, failing to stop for a peace officer, and failing to comply with release order.

She appeared in Prince Albert Provincial Court on Monday and was remanded to Tuesday.

Saturday’s incident highlights a recent spike in property crime in the rural area surrounding Prince Albert.
