Stonewall RCMP apprehended suspects involved in impaired driving incident and auto theft.
On Aug. 17, 2021, at approximately 7:55 p.m., Stonewall RCMP received a complaint of a possible impaired driver that had just left the gas bar located on Provincial Road (PR) 236, in the RM of Rosser, and that the suspect vehicle was heading northbound.
Officers were provided with a license plate of the suspect vehicle which was identified as being stolen out of the City of Winnipeg.
Patrols were made in the area and the suspect vehicle was located heading westbound on PR 221. A traffic stop was attempted but the suspect vehicle refused to stop. Officers did not pursue the vehicle as a safety precaution due to the high volume of vehicles currently in the area.
As officers continued to search for the suspects, a report was received of suspicious persons in the community of Rosser. The stolen vehicle was located ditched at a residence and it was believed the suspects were now on foot.
Further reports of suspicious persons continued to be received where it was then learned that another vehicle had been stolen and was last seen heading westbound on PR 221. This vehicle was then reported to have lost control and entered onto a property in the community of Rosser where it collided with a concrete post. The occupants exited the vehicle and fled on foot where they were apprehended by responding officers a short distance away.
The three occupants, a 26-year-old male and two females, ages of 36 and 17, were arrested and remain in police custody at this time with numerous Criminal Code charges pending.
Stonewall RCMP continue to investigate.
