Saskatoon Police have arrested two teenagers after they spotted them driving a stolen SUV early this morning.

Just before 1 a.m. CST Monday, the stolen vehicle was spotted driving near 8th Street and Clarence Avenue. When the marked patrol car tried to stop the SUV, the driver sped off and tried to get away.

Eventually, police set up stop sticks which managed to flatten most of the vehicle's tires.

The 18-year-old driver and 17-year-old passenger are facing charges of possession of stolen property over $5000 and flight from police. The driver already had outstanding criminal warrants, and will be facing further breach charges.
