On Jan. 15, 2026, shortly before 4 p.m., Kitscoty RCMP responded to an abandoned vehicle at an oil site along Township Road 492, in the County of Vermillion River.
Kitscoty RCMP observed a grey sedan and a black pickup truck with no license plate on scene. A female suspect drove the black pickup truck, intentionally ramming into the stationary police vehicle, with the member inside. This action disabled both the truck and police vehicle. Both suspects got into the grey sedan, attempted to flee the scene, however, got stuck in the snow.
The suspects then fled on foot, heading east through a field, to a nearby unoccupied rural residence. The residence was broken into, and the suspects stole a white SUV from the garage.
Another Kitscoty RCMP officer arrived at that residence. As the male suspect reversed the SUV out of a garage, they collided into the passenger side of the moving police vehicle. As the suspects fled this scene, there was a near collision with a third police vehicle, when the suspects attempted to turn north onto Range Road 14.
Eventually the suspect vehicle became stuck in deep snow. The male suspect fled on foot heading northeast, where he was shortly thereafter apprehended. The female suspect was then also arrested.
