RCMP and Corman Park Police helped deploy a tire deflation device close to 4 a.m.
The suspects then tried to escape on foot in a rural area east of Warman.
Officers quickly arrested the male suspect and the female suspect attempted to hide but was taken into custody soon after with the help of a canine unit.
Along with the failure to stop for police, the man has been charged with possession of stolen property over $5,000, possession of a weapon and possession of identity, for four different people.
The woman has been charged with a breach of undertaking, meaning she failed to uphold the conditions of a previous interaction with the legal system.
