Saskatoon Police Service (SPS) and surrounding detachments worked together on two stolen vehicle incidents that resulted in arrests over the weekend.

RCMP was notified, and officers from Saskatoon, Lanigan, Humboldt and Watrous converged near Young, Sask., where the truck was reported.
The driver left the road, got the vehicle stuck in a field, and officers arrested the man.
It was later found that the truck was reported stolen from Rosthern. The man was wanted on warrants from Shellbrook and Blaine Lake, and police said the 32-year-old Saskatoon man is facing charges of evading police, dangerous driving, driving while prohibited and possession of stolen property over $5,000.
