On Friday at approximately 1:48 p.m., Shellbrook RCMP received a report a red truck was stolen outside a business on Main Street in Shellbrook.

At approximately 10 a.m. Saturday , Ahtahkakoop RCMP located the stolen red truck on Ahtahkakoop Cree Nation and attempted a traffic stop. The red truck did not stop and was last seen driving northbound towards the Debden area.

Saturday morning, RCMP also received a separate report of gunshots on Ahtahkakoop Cree Nation. The report indicated a red truck was involved and investigators believe this may be connected to the ongoing stolen red truck investigation.

The truck is described as a red 2005 GMS Sierra 2500 with Saskatchewan license plate 297 MLE. It has a red slip tank on the flat bed and a firearm inside.

In a news release RCMP say they have determined that people in a grey Ford F150 truck may have information about this theft and police would like to speak with them.

If you see the vehicles matching the above descriptions, do not approach them. The occupant(s) of the red truck may be armed and are considered dangerous. Call police immediately.
