Shots fired during vehicle theft

On Jan. 13, 2020 at approximately 12:03 a.m., Kitscoty RCMP responded to a report of a vehicle theft north of Kitscoty at a rural residence.

A victim was checking suspicious activity near a relative’s residence and went inside. While inside a truck pulled into the driveway and a female suspect stole the victim’s SUV as it was still running in the driveway.

The victim came out and a confrontation ensued. The victim then proceeded to safety back into the residence when two shots were fired from the truck which hit the residence. No one was injured.

Patrols were made in the area for the two vehicles but they were not immediately located. The SUV was later found abandoned in Onion Lake, Saskatchewan. The truck which was previously reported stolen from Dewberry, was found abandoned near Range Road 12 northeast of Kitscoty.

The female suspect is described as 5’6”, dark complexion with long black hair.
