On July 19, 2016, at approximately 6:55 am police received a report of an assault on the 1300 block of King Street. A thirty-two year-old female and a twenty-six year-old male assaulted a twenty-six year-old female, who was restrained and prevented from leaving the residence. The Regina Police Service SWAT Team was called to clear the residence, which was the subject of an earlier news release.
Later on the same day, police located a stolen vehicle driven by the male suspect and attempted to stop the vehicle, which evaded police at a high rate of speed.
On July 20, 2016, police observed the two together in a vehicle on the 1800 block of North Service Road. Police attempted to arrest the male suspect who had exited the vehicle. The male suspect resisted, and ran back to the vehicle and entered the driver seat. While avoiding apprehension the vehicle drove into an unmarked police vehicle, causing damage.
The two drove to Ring Road where witnesses observed the vehicle with the door still open from the hit and run, with the male suspect driving while carrying a firearm in plain view.
The two drove the vehicle to another spree of violent crime outside of Regina, resulting in an RCMP arrest near Punnichy, which is the subject of an RCMP news release. The two were later interviewed by the Regina Police Service in relation to the earlier incidents, and charged.
