Jun 28, 2022 | 1:00 PM

A 21-year old woman is facing a number of charges after a vehicle that was reported stolen in Prince Albert, was brought to a stop near Warman on Monday.

At approximately 2:30 a.m. Saskatoon police initially spotted the Dodge Nitro and attempted a traffic stop near 21st St. and Idylwyld Drive North.

The driver of the vehicle refused to stop for police, running a red light at 22nd Street and Idylwyld Drive North. As the ground patrol unit disengaged, an air support unit was able to monitor the northbound vehicle, travelling at a high rate of speed.

The driver left the city on Highway 11 travelling toward Warman. Warman RCMP and Corman Park Police were notified and successfully deployed several tire deflation devices.

The suspect’s vehicle was disabled and came to a stop a short distance away. The driver of the vehicle was taken into custody without incident. A search of the vehicle resulted in officers locating bear spray, methamphetamine and psilocybin (magic mushrooms).
