Ethel "Nana" Mongovius' family has been cheering for the Saskatchewan Roughriders for decades.
Mounties in Maidstone are on the lookout for a truck they lost in a cloud of dust.
In a media release Tuesday, the RCMP said officers responded Sunday just before midnight to a call about an armed robbery at a house in Maidstone.
“Initial investigation determined two males wearing ski masks and a female were demanding money from an occupant of the residence,” the release said. “When the suspects left the residence, one of the suspects discharged a firearm in the air. There were no injuries reported to police.”
The officers who responded saw a grey 2006 Ford F-350 Super Duty with Saskatchewan license plate 720 KBF leaving the house. The truck had been reported stolen from North Battleford earlier that day.
According to the Mounties, the truck took off and a 15-minute-long pursuit ensued. The RCMP said the truck was last seen turning north of Highway 16 “and was lost in the dust from its speeding.”
The RCMP is asking the public to report sightings of the truck by calling the Maidstone RCMP at 306-893-47800, their local police service, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
