WATCH: Suspect falls through ceiling while trying to evade Spruce Grove RCMP

Two people suspected of trying to use stolen credit cards were arrested west of Edmonton, but not before going to great lengths to avoid police.

On Monday afternoon at 1:17 p.m., Spruce Grove RCMP responded to a complaint that a man and a women from Edmonton were trying to use stolen credit cards at the local Reddi-Mart.

Police arrived and tried to arrest the pair, but Mounties said the man pushed the woman at an officer, and then the pair allegedly fought the officer in an attempt to resist arrest.

While a Mountie was trying to get the man under control, the woman ran to the back of the store attempting to escape.

“The female suspect climbed a ladder in the back room into the ceiling panels to try and evade police.

“As other RCMP members arrived on scene, the female suspect fell through the ceiling, landing on some shelving in the store,” a news release said.
