Three people have been charged after a gun was fired from a stolen automobile at a pursuing police vehicle.
The Manitoba First Nation Police Service tried to stop a vehicle on Lake Road in Sandy Bay First Nation at about 4 a.m. Monday. The vehicle did not stop and sped away, and a passenger fired a gun towards the officers.
Ste. Rose du Lac RCMP were called in to help, and the vehicle was spotted on Provincial Road 278 by Reedy Creek at about 2 p.m. One of the vehicle’s tires was flattened when it went over a spike belt placed on a roadway, but the driver continued south towards Silver Ridge.
RCMP were able to stop the vehicle. The driver — a 21-year-old man — and the two women passengers, ages 35 and 22, have been charged with several offences each. All three people are from Sandy Bay.
