One man has been arrested after evading police in a vehicle he’d stolen during a break and enter.

At around 10:00 p.m. on April 18, 2024, police were called to the 200 block of Korol Crescent for a report of a break and enter in progress. While on the phone, the call taker could hear a commotion in the background that suggested a robbery with a firearm was occurring. As officers were responding, new information was received that at least one of the suspects had fled Korol Crescent in a vehicle stolen during the break and enter. The vehicle was observed by police as it was leaving the area but upon attempting to stop it, the driver fled erratically at a high rate of speed and officers disengaged. Police relocated the vehicle abandoned a short distance away after it had collided with a parked vehicle. Upon search of the stolen vehicle, officers found a loaded firearm. A police service dog (PSD) was then used to conduct a high-risk track leading officers to a home under construction in the 500 block of Nightingale Road. Using the loud hailer on the armoured rescue vehicle, a man was ordered from the home and arrested at approximately 11:30 p.m. without further incident. No other suspects were located in relation.

As a result, a 34-year-old Saskatoon man is facing a combination of 15 charges relating to break and enter, robbery, firearms, and evading police. He was also found to be breaching court-imposed conditions.
