SASKATOON – Two people were arrested Monday after they were seen travelling in a stolen vehicle.
A 19-year-old Saskatoon man is facing charges of possession of stolen property under $5,000, obstructing a police officer, breach of a release order, and breach of probation. An 18-year-old Saskatoon woman, who was wanted on a warrant, is charged with breach of a release order.
Police say that at approximately 12:15 p.m., on March 27, they were called to the area of 20th Street West and Avenue Q South after a citizen spotted a vehicle travelling in the neighbourhood, which they knew to be stolen. Responding officers located the vehicle parked in a nearby alley with two people matching the suspect descriptions walking away from it.
When they saw police, the woman surrendered without incident but the man attempted to flee and a police service dog helped catch him as he fled. The man received an injury consistent with a dog bite and was transported to hospital for treatment of his non-life-threatening injury.
