SASKATOON - 46-year-old man is facing charges related to an ongoing harassment investigation by the Saskatoon Police Service (SPS) General Investigations Section.

On Sept. 6, 2024, a citizen attended to the SPS Service Centre to report having located two GPS trackers on his vehicle. Further investigation identified a suspect and a search warrant was executed at an apartment in the 2000 block of 20th Street West, where police located several more GPS trackers.

A man, from Saskatoon, was arrested by investigators of the General Investigations Section and charged with harassment (x2), mischief (x2), intimidation (x2), and fraudulent concealment.

Currently, six GPS trackers have been recovered by SPS, however based on information obtained during the course of the investigation, police believe there are additional trackers outstanding, and are asking the public to contact police if they locate one on their vehicle.

The trackers are typically wrapped in black tape and placed inside the fender of the vehicle. A photo is attached for reference. If you discover a GPS tracker on your vehicle, investigators ask that you do not remove or alter the device. Instead, please attend to SPS Headquarters with that vehicle and tracker intact to file a report.
