The stolen truck is a red, 2009 Chevrolet Silverado with Saskatchewan license plate 221 MTA. Anyone with information is asked to call Prince Albert RCMP.

Naytowhow is no stranger to police.

On Dec. 14, 2021, police were called to the Sturgeon Lake First Nation for a report of a robbery and after investigating, police found out the man approached a vehicle where he threatened those inside. The occupants fled without injury.

Naytowhow was arrested two weeks later in Prince Albert. The trial was held in June and a stay of proceedings was granted by the Crown.
