Two Ontario residents being chased by Manitoba RCMP were caught near Moosomin, Sask. after they stole a semi truck and trailer.
Moosomin RCMP said it received a report from Manitoba RCMP on Sept. 29 that a pickup truck and trailer, stolen from Ontario, was making its way along Highway 1 near Moosomin.
Officers from multiple detachments responded, and the truck made a stop at a weigh scale east of Moosomin, almost hitting an RCMP vehicle.
Two people got out of the truck, threatened and threw a man out of a nearby semi truck and trailer, and took the vehicle on to Highway 1.
Police set up a spike belt to stop the semi, the trailer caught fire, and the vehicle swerved to avoid the spike belt and stopped in the centre median, where both suspects were arrested.
