RCMP are searching for a suspect following an incident that eventually led officers to Deacon's Corner Wednesday night.

At approximately 5:50 pm, Beausejour RCMP received a report of a suspicious vehicle stopped near a residence located on Road 38E, in the RM of Brokenhead.



It was reported that two males and one female were seen unloading an ATV from a truck and trailer. Police say when approached by a concerned citizen, the suspects loaded the ATV back onto the trailer and drove away.



The citizen followed the suspects to the intersection of Highway 12 and Highway 44. At the intersection, the suspects exited their pickup truck and slashed the tires of the citizen's vehicle and sped off.



The information was relayed to officers working in the nearby detachments and patrols were initiated.

At approximately 6:45 pm, an officer, with the Selkirk Detachment observed the suspect vehicle travelling south on Highway 59 and initiated a traffic stop. The suspect vehicle turned east onto Garven Road and then south on Fairview Road towards a dead-end.The suspect vehicle then backed into the police vehicle and fled the scene.

A pursuit was initiated down Garven Road until the suspect vehicle entered the ditch and became inoperable. The two male suspects fled on foot and the female suspect was arrested on scene.



A short time later, information was received that two vehicles had been stolen near Garven Road. The reports indicated that one stolen vehicle was headed south on PR 207 and that the other stolen vehicle was heading south on Springfield Road.



While patrolling the area, a vehicle could be seen a significant distance from the police vehicles headed south on PR 207 travelling at a high rate of speed. Officers pursued and when they approached the intersection of Hwy 1 and PR 207, they observed the stolen vehicle collide with a light stand. The male suspect had fled on foot running west in the eastbound lane of Hwy 1 where he was arrested by officers.



A 26-year-old male and a 27-year-old female, both from Winnipeg, face multiple charges and remain in custody. RCMP continue to search for the third male.



The investigation is ongoing.
