Ste Rose RCMP has a 26-year-old man from Sandy Bay in custody following a police chase last Thursday related to a report of a stolen truck.

Mounties were called to the Ebb and Flow First Nation around the noon hour on October 26th after a report of a stolen truck being spotted.

The truck had been reported stolen from the Glenella area. 

The driver and truck fled the Ebb and Flow area at a high speed but were seen sometime later trying to get gas in the RM of Alonsa.   

Another chase ensued, with the truck eventually getting stuck in a field off of road 116 N. 

A suspect, who was already wanted for several firearms-related offences, fled on foot but was eventually tracked down and arrested in a marsh area, with assistance from a community member, the police dog service, and a drone unit from Manitoba First Nations Police Service. 

He was treated on the scene by EMS before going into police custody.

His name has not been released and no word on when he will appear in court.
