A routine patrol led to an altercation between the Prince Albert police and four suspects.

In the early morning hours of Aug. 17, an officer noticed a suspicious vehicle outside a residence known for criminal activity. The vehicle was also determined to be stolen.

A man and a woman exited the vehicle and attempted to enter the residence. The officer gave orders to the suspects which were ignored. The man reached for a suspected concealed weapon when the officer tried to arrest him. More officers arrived on scene and assisted the first officer by using pepper spray and defense and control techniques.

Following the fight, a knife which had fallen to the ground was seized. Two other men were arrested and the stolen vehicle was searched. Two firearms, a BB handgun and ammunition for the weapons were found and taken.

A 19-year-old Saskatoon man faces numerous weapon related charges as well as possession of a stolen vehicle, resisting arrest and breach of a court order.

A 20 and 21-year-old male from Big River were arrested and now face numerous weapon charges along with possession of a stolen vehicle. The 20-year-old male also faces one count of breach of a court order.

A 29-year-old woman from Pelican Lake faces numerous weapons charges, possession of a stolen vehicle and breach of a court order.

All four individuals will appear in a Prince Albert courtroom on Aug. 18.
