Stolen Vehicle
On January 30, at approx. 1:09 PM, Police received a report of a stolen vehicle that had just been taken from the parking lot of a North End business. The vehicle was later located abandoned in the RM of Elton by Blue Hills RCMP members who were attending to a report of a stolen vehicle in that area. It is believed that the suspect abandoned the vehicle after driving into a ditch and then stole the other vehicle. That vehicle was observed in Brandon a short time later. Attempts were made to stop the vehicle, however, the operator would not stop for Police. Police did not engage in a pursuit of the vehicle due to public safety concerns. The vehicle was late located abandoned in the East End. A 19-year-old female and 19-year-old male, both residents of Brandon, were arrested and later released to appear in court on March 1st, where they will face charges of Possession of Property Obtained by Crime. A third person is in custody with charges to be determined later. The matter is still under investigation.
