On September 5, 2009, in the afternoon, the Dauphin RCMP received a report of the theft of a truck from 9th Avenue SW.
Witnesses indicated they had seen a male drive off with a 2007 Ford pickup. Approximately 1 hour later, officers from Ethelbert and Swan River Detachments were dispatched to a single vehicle rollover, approximately 20 km south of Cowan, Manitoba. When emergency personnel arrived on scene, they found one male trapped inside a truck that had rolled and come to rest on it’s side. This was the same truck that had been stolen from Dauphin.
The male was extricated from the vehicle and taken by ambulance to the Swan Valley Health Centre in Swan River for treatment for non life threatening injuries.
The investigation continues with charges pending against a 21-year-old Dauphin man.
