- Police arrested three individuals on Pioneer Road after they were found in possession of a stolen vehicle shortly before 11 a.m. on July 12. The truck in question had been reported stolen several hours earlier, and the suspects appeared to have put diesel in it which caused some obvious mechanical issues, seeing as the truck does not have a diesel engine. One of the suspects attempted to flee on foot but was arrested after a lengthy foot pursuit. Police also recovered a small amount of illegal drugs and some bear mace during the arrests. All three subjects were held in custody and made their first appearance in North Battleford Provincial Court on Tuesday July 13. Craig Fox, 24, and Terri Fox, 19, are both charged with possession of stolen property and possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose. Justin Poitras, 26, is charged with two counts of possession of stolen property, as he was found to be involved in a second theft reported on this date. He is also charged with two counts of possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose, resisting arrest and possession of methamphetamine.
