Jerome Bighetty, Joshua Goodvoice and Dilynn Dumont arrested
PRINCE ALBERT, Sask. — Three people are facing dozens of charges after a stolen vehicle investigation on Wahpeton First Nation led RCMP to recover hundreds of suspected stolen items — and confirmed the safe recovery of a woman who had been abducted a day earlier.
On Nov. 12, 2026, at approximately 2:05 p.m., Prince Albert RCMP received a report of a stolen vehicle at a residence on Wahpeton First Nation. Officers responded immediately and located a black Chrysler 300 and a red Dodge Caravan outside the residence. Both vehicles were of interest in the ongoing investigation into an abduction reported on Nov. 11.
The previous day, at approximately 10:07 a.m., Prince Albert RCMP received a report of an abduction and vehicle theft on Highway 788, north of Sturgeon Lake First Nation. Officers determined a woman had been abducted in a red Dodge Caravan and was last seen travelling toward Little Red River. Investigators had also identified a second vehicle of interest — a black 2005 Chrysler 300 with a spare tire on the back passenger rear door and Saskatchewan licence plate 001 PNG. The suspects were described as four males with face coverings.
On Nov. 12, RCMP and Saskatchewan RCMP’s Police Dog Services contained the area around the Wahpeton residence and determined there was one adult female suspect and two adult male suspects inside. Officers approached the female suspect outside the residence and arrested her without incident.
The two male suspects fled in the red Dodge Caravan. Officers pursued, activated emergency lights and successfully deployed a tire deflation device. The Caravan came to a stop and the two men fled on foot into a wooded area. Prince Albert RCMP deployed a remotely piloted aircraft system and, with assistance from Police Dog Services, located and arrested both suspects without incident. Officers also located and seized two firearms — one of them loaded — in a ditch near the Caravan.
As a result of the investigation, 20-year-old Jerome Bighetty of Sandy Bay, 21-year-old Dilynn Dumont of Saskatoon and 26-year-old Joshua Goodvoice of Prince Albert are each charged with resisting a peace officer (Section 129(a)); three counts of possession of property obtained by crime over $5,000 (Section 354(1)(a)); possession of a firearm when knowing possession is unauthorized (Section 92(1)); possession of a restricted firearm (Section 95(1)); and careless use of a firearm (Section 86(1)).
Bighetty faces additional charges of two counts of possession of weapons contrary to order (Section 117.01(1)) and seven counts of failure to comply with release order conditions (Section 145(5)(a)). Dumont faces an additional charge of failure to comply with release order conditions. Goodvoice faces two additional counts of possession of weapons contrary to order and one count of flight from a peace officer (Section 320.17).
All three accused are remanded and scheduled to appear in Prince Albert Provincial Court on Nov. 16 (Information #90593587, 90593588, 90593589).
In a subsequent update, Saskatchewan RCMP confirmed the abducted woman had been found safe, noting the investigation was still unfolding and further updates would be provided when available.
As a result of further investigation, officers located and seized hundreds of suspected stolen items at the Wahpeton First Nation residence, including three vehicles, three motorcycles, four ATVs, four firearms, a large quantity of tools, welders and generators, and other miscellaneous items.
Investigators have already confirmed some of the seized items belong to people both in and beyond the Prince Albert RCMP Detachment area, and are asking the public to report any stolen items that have not yet been reported to police. Stolen items must be reported with proof of ownership, serial numbers and/or other identifying features to help officers return them to their rightful owners.
“This investigation resulted in the recovery of hundreds of suspected stolen items,” said Staff Sergeant Stephen Hurst, Detachment Commander of Prince Albert RCMP. “While the recovery of stolen property is a significant achievement, the work is only beginning. Due to the sheer volume of items, it will take time to catalogue, identify and return the property to its rightful owners. We appreciate the public’s patience and cooperation as we undertake this work and remain committed to reuniting owners with their belongings. The process of linking these items to current and ongoing investigations has already begun. Last, I would like to encourage the public to continue reporting all suspicious and criminal activity. Reports from the public assisted with this investigation.”
Prince Albert RCMP continues to investigate.
