A high-speed chase early Friday morning on Sandy Bay First Nation ended in the arrest of a 42-year-old man.
At around 3 a.m. on Friday, June 19th, Manitoba First Nations Police Service (MFNPS) responded to a call of a suspicious car in a driveway at a home on Sandy Bay First Nation.
When police located the vehicle and attempted a traffic stop, the driver sped off and officers lost sight of the suspect.
A few hours later, police located the suspect vehicle — now with two flat tires — and the driver again refused to stop and turned into a field where he got stuck.
Police then made the arrest, and charged the 42-year-old man from Sandy Bay First Nation for Dangerous Operation of a conveyance, and Flight from Police in a Motor Vehicle.
The suspect was held in custody and lodged in a cell.
