Tisdale pair charged after truck stolen from Nipawin crashes into police vehicle in Hudson Bay

Nov 18, 2024 | 4:37 PM

A man and a woman from Tisdale were arrested in Hudson Bay after officers spotted a truck at a home that had earlier been reported stolen from Nipawin.

Hudson Bay RCMP found the stolen truck on Albert Street on November 14, parked in a back yard.

When they approached with their emergency lights on, the truck started, accelerated and hit the passenger side of the police vehicle, disabling it.

The driver in the suspect vehicle then struck the police vehicle again and the occupants refused to get out as they were trying to escape.

The officers broke one of the vehicle’s windows to gain entry but the driver continued trying to escape so he was tasered the officers who then arrested him.
