Marook, The Police Service Dog, has done it again.

On June 20, just after midnight, RCMP received reports of several men exiting a stolen vehicle and running into the woods, heading towards the lake in the RM of Alonsa. The vehicle had been stolen on June 13 and had been noticed driving erratically in and around the Ebb and Flow First Nation earlier that evening.

Marook was able to track down two suspects in the wooded area. Mathew Kakewash, 31, and Shawn Francoeur, 26, were arrested without incident.

About eight hours later, the third suspect was spotted walking along Kinosota Road. 28-year-old Brady McKay was located and arrested. Once taken into custody, he began uttering threats towards the officers and caused damage inside the police vehicle.

The trio faces several charges, including Uttering Threats, Possession of Property Obtained by Crime, Flight from Police, and Operating a Conveyance in a Dangerous Manner.
