What started as a traffic stop on a Saskatchewan highway eventually led to five arrests, a theft from a business being solved and over $12,000 in cash being recovered.
According to a tweet by Combined Traffic Services Saskatchewan (CTSS), Sask. Highway Patrol and Regina police stopped a vehicle travelling 150km/h in a 110 km/h zone.
Eventually, the incident involved Moose Jaw Police CTSS, RCMP and officers with the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA).
The individuals who were arrested were also charged in connection to a theft in Moose Jaw on the same day.
Some of the accused will “likely be deported” according to CTSS.
