Earlier on Tuesday, Maidstone RCMP warned residents to watch for occupants in a grey F-350 truck with Sask plate 720 KBF who raided a home in Maidstone and shots were fired. The truck was reported as stolen from North Battleford earlier that day. The truck fled from police and continued east of Maidstone. A police pursuit was initiated and continued for 15 minutes. The truck was last seen turning north of Highway 16 and was lost in the dust from its speeding.
RCMP haven't confirmed if the two incidents are related and if it's the same vehicle involved in both incidents.
