A man, woman and youth from Regina face a string of charges after a Wednesday afternoon car chase led Brandon police from a busy shopping centre to a highway outside town and then through residential streets before ending near the spot it started.

The chase started at about 2 p.m., when plainclothes police officers were watching a vehicle at the Corral Centre mall that was possibly connected to a Saskatchewan break-in where a number of handguns were stolen.

The truck rammed the police vehicle and led officers on a chase that ended in a field off of Kirkcaldy Drive, where three people were taken into custody, police said Wednesday.

A 26-year-old Regina man has been charged with flight from police, dangerous driving, theft of a motor vehicle, assault with a weapon, possession of propery obtained by crime and possession of methamphetamine for the purpose of trafficking.

The two passengers in the vehicle, a 34-year-old woman and a 15-year-old boy, both from Regina, face charges of flight from police, possession of property obtained by crime and possession of methamphetamine.

All three are scheduled to appear in court on Thursday morning.

Police said no one was injured in the chase itself, but the boy was taken to hospital after he complained about chest pains. Officers said the pursuit didn't go faster than 80 km/h in the city and 100 km/h on the highway.

Three unmarked police vehicles were damaged during the incident, police said.
