High Prairie Pursuit

Two people in custody after pursuit by High Prairie RCMP

Jun 27, 2020 | 10:18 AM

A 34-year-old man and 36-year-old woman are in custody after they allegedly ran from High Prairie RCMP while they were attempting to execute a Canada Wide Warrant.

Acting on tips from the public, police went to a residence about 25 km north of High Prairie around 2:30 Friday afternoon, only to have a man and woman flee the scene on foot.

RCMP air and dog services were brought in to help, and at around 5:30 pm took the 36-year-old female into custody about 3 km from the property.

She was treated by AHS personnel for bite wounds she got while being apprehended.

A male continued to elude mounties, even using an all terrain vehicle, before eventually being captured in a remote area about 3 km northwest of High Prairie.
