On Monday, September 18, 2023, Whitehorse RCMP arrested two people in the Wolf Creek area after receiving multiple calls about property offences. Osheana Kuster and Bobby Ward were held for first court appearances on September 19, 2023, related to outstanding warrants and new charges.
Police received an initial call about the theft of a vehicle on Monday morning. Witnesses provided descriptors of the suspects and vehicles which allowed police to identify initial suspects. Officers on duty conducted patrols in a variety of areas associated to the suspects, who were not initially located.
Further calls about break and enters, thefts, and suspicious people over the next several hours provided descriptions of similar suspects. At approximately 3:00pm, police received a call of a property offence in progress in the Wolf Creek neighbourhood south of Whitehorse, and were able to attend the area while the suspects were known to be nearby. Officers from Whitehorse RCMP general duty, general investigative section (GIS), and Yukon RCMP police dog service (PDS) located and arrested Osheana Kuster and Bobby Ward with assistance from witnesses.
Osheana Kuster, age 25 of Whitehorse, and Bobby Ward, age 40 also of Whitehorse, are facing the following charges:
Mr. Ward is also facing additional charges of breach of probation order, contrary to section 733.1(1) Criminal Code, and dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, contrary to section 320.13(1) Criminal Code.
After their first court appearance on Tuesday, both were remanded, to remain in custody pending further court appearance.
Police conducted an ongoing risk assessment throughout the call in order to ensure safety of the public and police, and police did not believe that there was a public safety risk related to this investigation. Officers appreciated cooperation from witnesses, including those who were stopped in vehicles on the Alaska Highway. It allows police to ensure that the suspects had not been picked up in a vehicle and transported out of the contained area where the Police Dog Services track took place.

The Fort Simpson RCMP have arrested five youth following a string of break and enters to commercial properties and thefts in Fort Simpson. RCMP officers responded to three break and enters at local businesses between August 26th, 2023 and September 9th, 2023. Investigators determined that these break and enters as well as three separate reports of thefts from properties and a mischief to a vehicle were linked. Through the investigation, the Fort Simpson RCMP were able to identify and arrest five local youth in relation to these incidents.
In consultation with the affected businesses and property representatives and based on the cooperation of the youth, four of them have entered into a youth diversion program that will keep the youth out of court while still being held accountable for their role in these incidents. The fifth youth declined to participate in this program and is facing charges related to their involvement in the incidents.
The RCMP is committed to using community based extrajudicial diversion programs when appropriate. The programs ensure that youth involved in criminality are held to account, given the opportunity to understand the impact of their actions and to learn from mistakes. The Fort Simpson RCMP would like to thank the businesses and residents involved for their willingness to participate in this program.
