Suspicious Death

Saskatoon Police say the death of a 32 year old woman shortly before 4:30 Tuesday afternoon is being investigated as suspicious.

The woman was found in a vehicle in the 300 block of Avenue H South. An autopsy has been scheduled for Thursday.

Investigators from the Major Crime and Forensic Identification Sections with help from the Saskatchewan Coroners Service are investigating.

Vehicle Check Equals Firearm Charges

Saskatoon Police say when they tried to pull over a vehicle yesterday which was being driven by a person in a mask, acting aggressively, it sped off. That was around 8:30 Tuesday night near Avenue I and 22nd Street.

The truck was found abandoned at Avenue J North and 23rd Street West but an officer spotted a suspect nearby but he wouldn’t comply with commands and became aggressive.

A passerby helped the lone officer in apprehending the suspect until back up arrived. Police seized a knife, ammunition, a firearm and a mask.

A 36 year old man is charged with Resisting Arrest, Possession of a Dangerous Weapon and numerous other firearms related offences.

Baby Found – Autopsy

Saskatoon Police say they are not yet releasing the results of the autopsy conducted yesterday on the body of a baby found last Friday.

Just before 9 a.m. on November 8th police were called to an unknown problem in the 400 block of 5th Avenue North. It was the body of a newborn found in a recycle bin.
Police are still trying to find the mother who they believe could be in a vulnerable physical or mental state.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Saskatoon Police Service or Crime Stoppers.
