Jul 23, 2026 | 2:10 PM

One man has been charged after a vehicle rollover led to a reported truck theft, a flight from police and an assault in the Onion Lake area.

At approximately 6:35 a.m. on July 22, Maidstone RCMP received a report of a single-vehicle rollover on Highway 17, approximately one kilometre south of Sandy Beach.

Officers and EMS responded to the scene. After further investigation, officers determined that after the rollover, the driver stole a truck from a passerby who had stopped to help. No one else was inside the truck at the time. The truck then fled south on Highway 17.

Onion Lake RCMP were notified and asked to assist.

After officers located the man and the stolen truck, they initiated a traffic stop. The truck did not stop and fled from police. The man later abandoned the truck at a business in Onion Lake, where police say he assaulted an individual and tried to steal their vehicle. Officers arrived and arrested the man.
