A report of a stolen vehicle led to a search effort, resulting in multiple arrests.
On January 30th, 2024, at approximately 5:20 am, Dauphin RCMP responded to a report of a theft of a motor vehicle from a residence located on 1st Street SW in Dauphin.
Roughly 4 hours later, the RCMP received a report of the same stolen vehicle driving erratically at high speeds in Crane River.
Officers from the Ste Rose du Lac, Winnipegosis, and Dauphin RCMP Detachments conducted patrols in that area, and a traffic stop was put into place, but the stolen vehicle refused to stop.
A short time later, RCMP received information that the suspect vehicle had just left a gas station in Skownan and was now southbound on PR 276.
A search of the area located the stolen vehicle abandoned east of Waterhen with footprints leading into a nearby wooded area.
Using both drones and search dogs, police arrested 19-year-old Mason Moar, 18-year-old George Macdonald, 32-year-old Denine Flett, and 27-year-old Salita Beaulieu, all under charges of resisting arrest and possession of property obtained by crime.
