Amaranth RCMP has taken a Winnipeg man into custody after the police dog service was called in to track down a suspect hiding in a wooded area.
Around 12:35 pm on Wednesday, Mounties were notified about an Off-Road Vehicle - which had earlier been stolen from the Sandy Bay First Nation area - going in and out of yards on Road 50 West in the RM of Westlake-Gladstone.
The ORV eventually broke down, leading to two suspects escaping into a wooded area North of Road 50 West and Road 92 North.
A female suspect eventually came out of the wooded area and was arrested, but Jolt the Police Service Dog was sent in with his handler to locate and apprehend a male suspect.
32-year-old Blake Beaulieu has been charged with possession of property obtained by crime over $5,000, mischief, and two counts of resisting or obstructing a peace officer.
He was already wanted on warrants for a number of offenses, including two assaults and robbery with other offensive weapons.
Beaulieu remains in custody, but no details of a court appearance were released.
No word on if any charges were laid against the female suspect.
