A Saskatoon police statement said four people are facing a number of charges after failing to stop for patrol officers Sunday morning.

Police say shortly before 2 a.m. on Sunday, officers observed a stolen vehicle near 33rd Street West and Avenue J North.

Officers attempted to stop the vehicle “however the vehicle failed to stop.”

Air Support Unit members continued to watch the suspect vehicle, allowing for a tire deflation device to be deployed by ground units.
