With help from tactical teams, Lloydminster RCMP executed high-risk warrants and charged three men — including two already under release orders.

A police operation involving multiple specialized units led to several arrests in Lloydminster on June 4, with officers executing high-risk warrants related to an ongoing investigation.

The activity centred around the 45 Avenue area on the east side of Lloydminster, Saskatchewan, where residents observed a heavy police presence and road closures in the afternoon. Alberta RCMP’s Emergency Response Team and Police Dog Services were deployed to support Lloydminster RCMP and ensure public and officer safety.

As a result of the operation, three individuals were arrested and charged:

• Jesse Dillon, 33, of Edmonton, was charged with obstructing a police officer and failing to comply with a release order. He was remanded into custody and is scheduled to appear in Saskatchewan Provincial Court on June 19.

• Ryan Peace, 51, of Martensville, Saskatchewan, was charged with flight from a police officer. He was released on conditions and is to appear in court on August 10.

• Kyle Soosay, 35, of Kehewin First Nation, was charged with failing to comply with a release order. He was released on conditions and is scheduled to appear in court on June 10.

A fourth individual was released without charges, while a fifth person was arrested for public mischief and obstruction of a peace officer. Charges in that case have not yet been laid.

The investigation remains ongoing with support from Lloydminster RCMP’s General Investigation Section and other RCMP specialized units. Police thanked the public for their cooperation during the operation.
