Two youths are facing charges following an incident involving a stolen vehicle.
Shortly after midnight on February 10, 2025, members of the Regina Police Service observed a stolen truck turning onto the 400 block of Montreal Street. When police turned the corner to approach the vehicle, the vehicle was parked and the three occupants had fled the scene.
The Regina Police Service Canine Unit utilized a Police Service Dog (PSD) to track the suspects. The PSD located a 17-year-old female suspect hiding in nearby bushes. During the apprehension, the female suspect was bitten by the PSD and sustained injuries to her arm. She was taken to hospital for treatment and released. A 17-year-old male suspect was also located and arrested. A 30-year-old female suspect surrendered to police nearby and, following investigation, was not charged.
The 17 year-old male, and 17 year-old female, who will not be named in keeping with the provisions of the Youth Criminal Justice Act, are each charged with:
- Possession of Property Obtained by Crime Over $5000 [CC 355(A)].
The 17 year-old male was also charged with:
- Fail to Comply with Undertaking [CC 145(4)(A)].
The 17 year-old male made his first appearance in Regina Provincial Youth Court yesterday, February 10, 2025, at 9:30 a.m. The female is scheduled to make her first appearance on these charges on April 1, 2025.
Due to the nature of the arm injury sustained by the female suspect during the arrest, RPS notified the Saskatchewan Serious Incident Response Team (SIRT), as is required by The Police Act, 1990. Following that notification, the matter is remains under investigation by RPS, and is being monitored by SIRT. As such, RPS will not be providing further comment on the matter.
