Red Pheasant robbery suspects may be headed for Saskatoon: RCMP

The RCMP says two suspects in an armed robbery that left a woman injured on the Red Pheasant Cree Nation may be headed for Saskatoon.

The RCMP said the woman was taken to hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries after the robbery, and police are now looking for a male suspect and a female suspect who may be armed and dangerous.

“The suspects were last seen driving a 2019 Dodge Ram truck, Warlock edition. The truck has the word ‘O’Brien’ or ‘O’Brian’ on the back window and Saskatchewan license plate 716 LWG,” the RCMP explained in a statement. “We do not have any further description of the suspects at this time.”

In an update issued on Thursday afternoon, the RCMP noted the truck is black.

The RCMP said officers have cause to believe the suspects may be headed for Saskatoon, but their current whereabouts are not known.

“We are asking the public to report any suspicious activity or people in the Red Pheasant First Nation and Saskatoon areas to police,” the RCMP requested. “If anyone sees the vehicle matching the above description they are asked to contact their local police or police of jurisdiction immediately.”

The RCMP said updates will be provided when more details are available, and noted that if an “imminent risk to public safety” is found, the public will be notified.

RCMP also searching for robbers in the Whitewood area

Meanwhile, Mounties are also searching for another pair of armed robbers who are believed to be travelling on foot in the Whitewood area, east of Regina.

“One suspect is described as male and may have been wearing a green shirt,” the RCMP said in a statement. “We do not have a description of the other suspect at this time. Both suspects are described as having a slim build.”

The Mounties asked local residents to report anything suspicious and to ensure homes and vehicles are locked.
