A man and woman are in RCMP custody after a vehicle stolen in the RM of Paddockwood and driven by the suspect refused to stop for police.

RCMP first learned of the stolen vehicle on August 15 around 3 pm, when it was taken from a location on Highway 2.

The next morning around 10:30 in the morning, Waskesiu/Montreal Lake detachment officers saw the stolen vehicle in Montreal Lake and attempted to pull the driver over.

They did not comply and kept driving on Highway 2 at high speeds, before turning onto a grid road. The driver then ran into a nearby forested area.

A female passenger was arrested, and police seized a sawed-of firearm from the vehicle.
