A call about a break and enter led Moose Jaw police on a high-speed pursuit of two individuals, eventually leading to their arrest and recovery of the stolen property.
Officers were called around 3:30 a.m. on March 5 about a break-in occurring in the northwest part of Moose Jaw. They located a suspected vehicle when they arrived at the scene, but the suspects fled from the scene.
Police activated their emergency lights and attempted to pull over the vehicle, however, the vehicle fled at a high rate of speed. Officers used a tire deflation device to slow the vehicle and safely end the pursuit downtown.
During the subsequent search, cops recovered a loaded 12-gauge shotgun and other stolen property.
The two males who were arrested face charges that include break and enter, theft, flight from police, dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, possession of a prohibited weapon, several firearms offences and breach of court orders. Both males were remanded into custody to attend court on March 6.
The Moose Jaw Police Service encourages the public to report any thefts from vehicles that may have occurred during the night
