Shortly before 4:00 a.m. October 27, a Rosthern Detachment member noted a black car pulled over on the side of Highway #11 near Osler, SK with no lights on.

The individual got back inside and the vehicle fled towards Saskatoon. This resulted in the member discharging their firearm and the car fled towards Saskatoon on Highway #11.

A short pursuit began and Saskatoon Police Service was notified. The vehicle has not been located yet and we continue to work with Saskatoon Police Service in this investigation.
The car is described as a black Cadillac CTS with no license plate.
