Just before 11am, on September 12, 2010, officers from the Dauphin Municipal RCMP detachment, located a stolen truck on 2nd Avenue N.W.
The truck had been reported stolen from the rural Winnipegosis area earlier in the morning.
The driver failed to stop for the officer when they attempted to stop it and a pursuit ensued. The truck was pursued out of the city limits and onto municipal roads north of Dauphin. The truck then returned to the street of Dauphin where officers terminated the pursuit in the interest of public safety. Shortly after ending the pursuit, officers observed the truck pull up in front of the high school. Two males then got out of the truck and ran. Officers followed and apprehended one of the males a short distance later. Moments later, a citizen alerted officers of the second male’s location and he was arrested.
Two boys from Duck Bay, Manitoba, ages 13 and 14, have been charged with a number of criminal offences including possession of stolen property and flight from police. Both remain in police custody and are to appear in Dauphin court.
