Two police vehicles were rammed during an incident on Onion Lake First Nation Jan. 29 while the Onion Lake detachment and the North Battleford Crime Reduction Team members were investigating an incident of a stolen vehicle.
According to RCMP, the vehicle was reported stolen from a residence on the First Nation. Members responding observed two subjects enter a vehicle and attempt to flee the area. In the flight attempt, the suspects rammed two police vehicles at a low speed and were able to exit the location.
Police say the vehicle was again located a short time later abandoned in the community. Police Dog Service Members from Lloydminster and North Battleford were successful in tracking and locating the suspects for arrest.
Arrested on outstanding warrants and remanded in custody are two 19-year-old men, both residents of Onion Lake. Both men are facing a wide range of criminal code charges resulting from this most recent incident including, but not limited to assaulting a police officer, flight from police, dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, and possession of stolen property.
