Pair flees from police twice, caught after vehicle disabled by OnStar

GLEICHEN, AB — A vehicle stolen in Saskatchewan was recovered near Cluny, Alta. last week and two people are facing more than a dozen charges.

According to a release from RCMP on Monday, Brooks, Bassano and Gleichen RCMP were told at about 10:45 a.m. on July 16 by Yorkton RCMP that a stolen vehicle was thought to be travelling through southeastern Alberta.

Before the occupants of the vehicle were taken into custody they fled from police at a traffic stop near Bassano and from a gas station near Cluny.

Mounties worked with OnStar, which disabled the vehicle and directed police to the vehicle near the Trans-Canada Highway and Range Road 213.

RCMP took the male occupant of the vehicle into custody without incident. The female brandished what police believed to be a sawed-off long barrel firearm. She was eventually taken into custody without further incident.
