RCMP in The Pas has arrested one man after a sawed-off rifle was found in an abandoned vehicle.
Mounties in the community attempted to pull over a vehicle early last Friday morning on 7th Street East.
The vehicle failed to stop tough and kept going at a high rate of speed, eventually crashing into a fence just off of 9th street.
The driver fled the scene before police arrived, but officers did find the firearm and ammunition when they found the abandoned vehicle.
A further investigation by RCMP led to the eventual arrest of 26-year-old Houston Nasecapow, who is charged with numerous offences, including Flight from Police, failure to comply, and possession of weapons for dangerous purposes
