Montréal suspect located after months-long investigation
In a separate investigation, members of the Saskatoon Police Service Warrant Enforcement Unit arrested a 16-year-old male wanted by police in Montréal on a Canada-wide warrant.
The investigation began in April 2026 after the Service de police de la Ville de Montréal requested assistance from the Saskatoon Police Service in locating a suspect believed to be in Saskatoon following an alleged armed residential break and enter in Montréal.
After several months of investigative efforts, officers arrested the youth at approximately 1:30 p.m. on July 15 in the 200 block of Fairmont Drive.
Youth faces multiple firearms charges
The 16-year-old has been charged by the Service de police de la Ville de Montréal with break and enter, discharging a restricted or prohibited firearm, possessing a loaded prohibited firearm without a licence, knowingly occupying a motor vehicle with a prohibited firearm, two counts of pointing a firearm, careless use of a firearm, using a firearm while committing an offence, and conspiracy to commit an offence.
Police said the accused has since been transported back to Montréal to face the charges.
Police agencies work together
The two arrests highlight the cooperation between police services across Canada in locating and apprehending individuals wanted on serious criminal offences.
The investigations were led by specialized units within the Saskatoon Police Service in partnership with police agencies in Ontario and Quebec, resulting in both suspects being taken into custody on the same day.
