Arrests May Be Linked to Multiple Crimes in Debden/Canwood Area

By Vanese M. Ferguson May 23, 2018 | 8:11 AM

The arrest of two men Monday may have solved not one but several break-ins in the Debden area.

Big River RCMP say property owners confronted two men who were in their farmyard about 8 kilometres west of Debden shortly before noon. The suspects fled into a nearby wooded area.

Big River and Spiritwood RCMP with help from Meadow Lake RCMP Police Dog Services as well as a Saskatchewan Ministry of Environment Officer, all responded. An aerial drone was also deployed. Two men were located and arrested at 2:30 Monday afternoon at a home on the Big River First Nation.

18 year old Kevin Starblanket and 19 year old Skylar Lachance face multiple charges in relation to stolen property involving three incidents in the Village of Debden and the RM of Canwood. They are in Prince Albert court today (weds).

After the Speaker in the Saskatchewan Legislature, Randy Weekes, confronted Sask. Party MLA's about texting during legislature proceedings, do you think all MLA's should be forced to leave their devices (phones, tablets, ipads) outside until proceedings have concluded?
