Prince Albert Police Service 'limited in scope' to properly investigate fraud crimes

Nov 17, 2025

In a post on its social media page just before 7:30 p.m., the service said police presence currently exists and members of the public are asked to avoid the area, although they did not provide an address. Photos posted on social media show the RCMP’s Emergency Response Team (ERT) vehicle, city police officers and Saskatchewan Marshals Service members stationed near 5th Ave. E.

“An update will be provided upon conclusion of the investigation or when new information becomes known,” the post read.

The increased police presence is not believed to be related to an incident earlier in the day in which four people were arrested following a weapons complaint and vehicle collision.
