PRINCE ALBERT – The search for a woman who police say was in a stolen vehicle that entered the North Saskatchewan River has ended with her being found safe.

Police say the vehicle was taken at gunpoint in Prince Albert, Sask., early Thursday and that responding officers attempted to stop it.

They say there was a chase and the vehicle went into the river.

A 22-year-old woman believed to be the driver, who was later found on the riverbank, was taken to hospital with minor injuries and arrested.

A search was underway for a second woman who had been in the vehicle.

Police say the 27-year old was found away from the river and wasn’t injured.

Police had said Saskatchewan’s police watchdog would be investigating. Later Thursday, they said the threshold for an investigation hadn’t been met and the Serious Incident Response Team was no longer involved.

This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 11, 2026.
