A 27 year-old Regina female and a 27 year-old male are facing multiple charges after an incident on Sunday in which police seized a firearm from a vehicle at 9th Ave North and McCarthy Boulevard.
On Sunday March 19, 2017, at approximately 4:47 a.m., police spotted a vehicle driving erratically in the area of 2nd Avenue at Pasqua Street. Police attempted to complete a traffic stop on Sherwood Drive, but the driver evaded police, driving north on McIntosh St. Shortly after, police obtained information that there was a firearm inside the vehicle. The vehicle exited the City to the north, then turned, proceeding south on Highway 6, back into the City. Officers deployed a spike belt to stop the vehicle on Highway 6. This tactic was successful, however, the vehicle continued to drive on damaged tires. The vehicle came to a stop on a median, allowing the officers to arrest the two occupants of the vehicle without further incident. Officers located a sawed-off firearm under the driver seat of the vehicle.
