A dangerous person alert has instructed the locals to shelter in place.

“Do not leave a secure location. Use caution allowing others into your residence,” the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) issued a warning to citizens not to pick up hitchhikers, in Saskatchewan.

The police advised anyone who saw the men or the automobile to keep away and alert the authorities. “The suspects may be in black Nissan Rogue [vehicle],” the police stated.

The hunt for the suspects was conducted as spectators flocked to Regina for the annual sold-out Labor Day match between the Saskatchewan Roughriders and Winnipeg Blue Bombers of the Canadian Football League.

In a press release, the Regina Police Service stated that it was collaborating with Mounties to search for and apprehend the individuals on numerous fronts and that it had “deployed additional resources for public safety throughout the city, including the football game at Mosaic Stadium.”

Around 7 am, the Melfort, Saskatchewan RCMP first issued the alarm. Several hours later, coverage of Manitoba and Alberta was added because the two suspects were still at large.

Following the violent incident on Sunday, the Saskatchewan Roughriders Canadian football team said in a tweet that security will be tightened.

“As a result, additional members of law enforcement have been deployed across Mosaic Stadium and the surrounding area,” the statement read. “The Club operates a centralized command centre on game day that allows immediate connection to local emergency services and the ability to receive up to the minute information when any sort of emergency occurs.”

Rhonda Blackmore, the commanding officer of the Saskatchewan RCMP, cautioned that there might be further injured people who had admitted themselves to the hospital during a news briefing later on Sunday.

According to her, while some persons may have been the two men’s targets, others were “attacked randomly.”
