The Saskatoon Police Service Air Support Unit is flying overtime this week.
The police plane took off Tuesday morning to assist in the manhunt for Myles Sanderson, the suspect wanted in connection to the deadly stabbing rampage on the James Smith Cree Nation and in the village of Weldon.
After returning to the city, the plane went back into the sky to help thwart multiple dangerous driving incidents overnight.
In addition to the long flight hrs supporting the search for Sanderson, we still found time to play a critical role in the arrest of 7 people resulting in 35 criminal charges, the managment of 2 evade police files including this one after an armed robbery at gun point. 230km/hr! pic.twitter.com/J4laAZy7kv

Police responded to a robbery call around 10:30 p.m. in the 600 block of Taylor Street East. Officers located the suspect’s vehicle at Wilson Crescent and Clarence Avenue, but the vehicle took off at a high rate of speed onto Circle Drive.
According to police, the vehicle reached speeds of 230 kilometres per hour.
The plane tracked the suspects to the 2600 block of Meadows Boulevard, where the suspects abandoned their vehicle and ran before being arrested.
Officers recovered prescription codeine, morphine and replica pistols from the vehicle.
Two 16-year-old boys, a 17-year-old girl and a 19-year-old woman are all charged with armed robbery along with weapons and drug offences.
A 26-year-old man is also facing charges for a separate dangerous driving incident early Wednesday.
Officers attempted to stop a vehicle on Confederation Drive near 33rd Street, but the vehicle fled onto Circle Drive. Tire deflation devices were successfully deployed near 60th Street, and the vehicle came to a stop just off Idylwyld Drive and 71st Street.
