Two arrested during stolen vehicle investigation
A man and woman are facing charges after they allegedly escaped from police twice in one day.
RCMP say they received a call of a stolen truck at 100 Avenue and 108 Street on the west side of the city on Sunday and when police tried to stop the vehicle, the suspects drove through a nearby field to evade police.
Later that day, RCMP say members of their rural detachment spotted the same truck near Debolt and the suspects rammed a parked police vehicle while escaping police for the second time.
A short time later, police say they responded to a car theft from a rural area. Officers were able to find the car as it was weaving in the opposite lane of traffic on Highway 43 near Range Road 26-2. RCMP were able to apprehend the suspects using Police Dog Services as the two were trying to get into slow moving vehicles.
