Jun 29, 2021 | 8:57 AM

A suspect, wanted in connection to a shooting incident in Prince Albert’s west flat Saturday morning, learned the hard way they could not run from the law.

Police Service Dog (PSD) Kal was deployed to assist and located the suspect in the dense brush, west of the city.

Earlier that morning, police were called to the 1700 block of 17th Street W. for reports that suspects in a vehicle had fired at a residence and then quickly fled the area.

Police located the suspect vehicle west of the city along Highway 302. Two suspects were arrested following a foot chase, and the other suspect was apprehended by Kal.

Following the execution of a search warrant, police located a sawed-off firearm and ammunition inside the vehicle.

Property thief caught red handed

A man pushing a lawnmower down the road, raised suspicions for police early Monday morning.

Perhaps it was because it was 12:20 a.m.

The man was spotted in the 1800 block of Sixth Ave W.

Information on the lawnmower was traced to a garage at a residence in the 300 Block of 24^th St. W., where police confirmed a break-in had occurred.

A 32-year-old man is charged with possession of stolen property.
