WHITEWOOD - The Broadview RCMP is asking for the public's assistance with an armed robbery that occurred in the southeast.
According to a news release, the RCMP received a report of a robbery at a business in Whitewood on Oct. 28 at approximately 11:45 p.m.
The RCMP says an investigation determined an individual was parked outside of the business. A man approached the victim, deployed bear spray and then physically forced the victim from the vehicle. The suspect then stole the vehicle, striking the victim with it as he fled. The victim, an adult male, was taken to hospital with injuries described as non-life-threatening in nature.
Officers immediately responded and located the vehicle on the Cowessess First Nation. They activated their emergency lights and sirens and attempted a traffic stop. The vehicle did not stop immediately, but did later and four occupants fled on foot.
The Saskatchewan RCMP’s Police Dog Services and remotely piloted aircraft system arrived to assist.
According to a news release, two of the four occupants have been located. No charges have been laid against them at this time.
The Broadview RCMP continues to search for the suspect in the robbery, as well as the fourth occupant in the vehicle.
The suspect is described as approximately 25-30 years old and six feet tall. He was last seen wearing a white/grey hoodie and sweat pants.
An investigation continues. The Broadview RCMP asks members of the public to report all sightings of the suspect and information on his identity.
The RCMP urges the public not to approach the suspect. Report sightings and information to the Broadview RCMP immediately by calling 310-RCMP. Information can also be submitted anonymously by contacting Saskatchewan Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or www.saskcrimestoppers.com.
