RCMP say a wanted male has been arrested after he allegedly fled from police in a stolen truck after a fuel theft.

On Monday around 4:30 p.m., Punnichy RCMP received a report of a fuel theft from a business in Raymore. The suspect had fled the scene.

A short time later, RCMP located the suspect on Kawacatoose First Nation in a truck. Investigation determined the truck was stolen from a rural property in the RM of Mount Hope on Sunday. A traffic stop was unsuccessful.

Officers set up a tire deflation device at the intersection of Highway #15 and Township Road 270A, which the stolen truck ran over. Shortly after, it came to a stop. The driver, who was the sole occupant of the truck, was arrested.

Forty-two-year-old Tyler Ross from Regina is charged with one count each flight from peace officer and possession of property obtained by crime over $5,000. He was also wanted on warrants from Wynyard RCMP for charges including theft of truck, and theft under $5,000. These charges were laid in relation to a September 2026 investigation.

Saskatchewan RCMP officers from Wynyard, Wadena, Southey, Melville, and Fort Qu’Appelle Detachments, along with Lanigan Combined Traffic Services Saskatchewan, and Yorkton Police Dog Services were all engaged to assist.
