The Saskatoon Police Service said they arrested two women this morning after a failed attempt to shake the Air Support Unit.

Officers said they recognized a vehicle around 3 a.m. in relation to an earlier police evade incident near Avenue H and 22 Street West, and tried to approach it.

The vehicle sped off, but the Air Support Unit got the description and found it driving dangerously around the city.

This led to the vehicle entering an underground parking garage on the 200 block of 5th Avenue where officers arrested two women.
