On July 29, a Weyburn PS member, while returning to Weyburn on Highway #6 and #39 noted a vehicle to be driving dangerously, speeding and forcing vehicles to take evasive action as it passed.

The vehicle was followed to Weyburn where a uniformed member was able to attempt to stop the vehicle, only to have it flee. The vehicle was eventually stopped and the driver fled on foot. The 52 year-old local male driver was apprehended after a short foot chase. He was wanted on outstanding warrants and is facing charges for dangerous driving, flight from police, obstruction and traffic safety act charges. He was remanded in custody.
