On the evening of October 7th, 2024, Yellowknife RCMP received a report that a vehicle had been stolen from a driveway in Yellowknife. Fortunately, the owner of the vehicle was able to use tracking technology to discover that the vehicle had subsequently left the city.
With assistance from the owner, officers from the Hay River detachment were able to locate the vehicle in the hamlet of Enterprise, where it then fled from police. A short time later, the vehicle was located abandoned elsewhere in the community. Officers recovered a replica firearm from inside the vehicle. Two suspects were subsequently located and arrested in the area. They have since been released conditionally to appear in court at a later date.
The investigation remains ongoing.
Anyone with information on this matter is asked to contact the Yellowknife RCMP at 669-1111 or Crime Stoppers at http://www.p3tips.com. In the event of an emergency call, 911.
