Saskatchewan RCMP have confirmed they are seeking two suspects, following a flight from police and car jacking that occurred Saturday afternoon south of Prince Albert.

Following a report of a suspicious truck on Fenton Ferry Road, members of the Prince Albert and Melfort detachments began patrolling the area

Around 4 p.m., a truck matching the suspicious vehicle’s description was located in Birch Hills. Officers activated their vehicle’s emergency equipment and initiated a traffic stop. The truck did not stop for police and fled north on Highway 3.

Shortly after, Prince Albert RCMP observed a truck matching the suspicious vehicle’s description pass them at a high rate of speed on the highway.

The truck then stopped in the middle of the road, blocking an oncoming SUV. As officers were approaching the scene in their police vehicle, a male and a female got out of the truck and forcefully removed the driver of the SUV from their vehicle.
