PRINCE GEORGE — Two people are in police custody awaiting their next court appearances after reports of a stolen vehicle over the weekend.

Prince George RCMP Cpl. Jennifer Cooper says on June 3, just before 6 p.m., Prince George RCMP began investigating a report of a stolen vehicle that was sighted on Chief Lake Road heading towards Fort St. James.

“Police officers located the vehicle travelling on the Tear Drop Forest Service Road, where the driver attempted to flee from police. The RCMP helicopter, Air 3, assisted in the investigation by tracking the vehicle, allowing police officers on the ground to set up a spike belt.”

Cooper says the driver attempted to avoid the spike belt and got stuck in a nearby field.

“Though the driver of the vehicle tried to flee on foot, both he and the passenger were quickly arrested by police officers. The two occupants of the vehicle, identified as Clayton Angus Middlemiss and Taylor Madison Dodd, are known to police.”
