Stolen Vehicle Recovery Leads to Firearm & Drug Charges

A Regina male is facing more than a dozen charges after an incident on Tuesday night.

On Tuesday, December 27, 2022, at approximately 10:55 p.m., police observed a suspicious vehicle driving in the area of 6th Avenue and Princess Street. Officers attempted a traffic stop on the vehicle, but the driver evaded police. A short time later, officers located the vehicle in the 1500 block of McTavish Street; it was unoccupied but the vehicle was still running with the keys in the ignition. Inside the vehicle, police located a firearm and ammunition. Members of the Canine Unit located a suspect male in a garage in the 1500 block of Montague Street. The Police Service Dog did not make contact with the male and he was brought into custody without incident. In a search incident to arrest, officers located a quantity of drugs, and items associated with drug trafficking. Police also determined the vehicle was stolen. As a result:
