The Dauphin RCMP received a report Sunday morning that a suspicious vehicle had entered a property in Ochre River.
The vehicle stopped in front of a machine shop and was seen leaving the property shortly after getting there. Police say the vehicle's believed to have stopped by the property earlier that same morning and may have been involved in other thefts in the area.
Officers patrolled the area along highway 20 and spotted the vehicle heading west on Road 147N, northwest of Dauphin Beach. The vehicle refused to pull over for police, so another officer set up a spike belt, which was successful in stopping it.
The suspects were arrested and a search of the vehicle suspects led to the recovery of stolen property (pictured below) as well as a small number of drugs believed to be cocaine (pictures above). The vehicle had been stolen from Arborg.
Police arrested 26-year-old Sabrina Bjornson and 25-year-old Joseph Contois, both from Riverton. The pair were remanded into custody on several charges including Flight from Police, Dangerous Operation of a Motor Vehicle, Possession of Property Obtained by Crime, and Possession for the Purpose of Trafficking. An investigation is underway.
