A stolen Manitoba First Nations Police vehicle was recovered by the Winnipeg Police.

Around 3:00 am Tuesday, MFNPS responded to a residence on Church Road in Waywayseecappo where 3 intoxicated males had broken into a van and refused to leave the property.

When police arrived, the suspects were uncooperative and refused to follow officers' directions.
