MACKENZIE — Two people were arrested near Mackenzie yesterday (Nov.2) after they fled from police and were caught after the vehicle they were driving went into a ditch.
North District RCMP Cpl. Madonna Saunderson says Mackenzie RCMP first observed the pair in a vehicle on the side of Highway 39 with the four-way flashers activated just after 9 p.m.
“The officer attempted a traffic stop of the vehicle to ensure they were not in need of assistance. As the officer approached the vehicle, it fled from police. An Alberta license plate on the vehicle was confirmed to be stolen and linked to a reported car-jacking out of Grande Prairie, Alberta.”
She says the vehicle drove into the opposite lane of travel and with no oncoming traffic and with public safety in mind, police stopped their pursuit.
