Maidstone RCMP is asking the public to report sightings and information about a stolen grey 2006 Ford F-350 Super Duty with Saskatchewan License Plate 720 KBF.

On May 14, 2023, at approximately 11:55 p.m., Maidstone RCMP responded to the report of an armed robbery at a residence involving a firearm on the 100th block of 3rd Avenue East in Maidstone. After the truck fled from police, it was seen turning north of Highway 16.

Initial investigation determined two males wearing ski masks and a female were demanding money from an occupant of the residence. When the suspects left the residence, one of the suspects discharged a firearm in the air. There were no injuries reported to police.

Officers responded immediately and located a grey 2006 Ford F-350 Super Duty with Saskatchewan License Plate 720 KBF leaving the residence. The truck was reported as stolen from North Battleford earlier that day.

The truck fled from police and continued east of Maidstone. A pursuit was initiated and continued for 15 minutes. The truck was last seen turning north on Highway 16 and was lost in the dust from its speeding.

Maidstone RCMP are investigating this incident and have conducted interviews, neighbourhood inquiries and continue to follow-up on information provided to them. Maidstone RCMP continue to proactively patrol the community to help maintain publicly safety.

Based on preliminary information gathered by police to date, this is believed to be an isolated incident.
