A 23 year-old Regina male is facing charges following investigation into a stolen vehicle on New Year’s Eve.
At approximately 12:58 a.m. on December 31, 2022, numerous officers were dispatched to an alley in the 1200 block of Garnet Street, for a possible stolen vehicle. The vehicle was occupied and running and when police activated emergency lights and attempted to stop the vehicle, the driver sped away. The stolen vehicle missed a turn and ended up in a snow bank. The driver fled on foot and was apprehended, by a Canine team, after he ignored a clear, concise warning to stop. The suspect driver was taken to hospital for treatment of a dog bite. Police advised the registered owner that his vehicle had been recovered. Investigation led to charges against the 23 year-old suspect, who was also the subject of several warrants.
