Four arrested after police pursuit, standoff

RCMP say four people were taken into police custody following a police chase between Saskatoon and Biggar on Wednesday.

At roughly 3:40 a.m., a stolen vehicle was being followed by units with the Saskatoon Police Service (SPS) out of the city on Highway 14. City police had attempted to stop the truck, a Ford F350, within the city by using a spike belt, but it only deflated two tires.

The vehicle continued travelling towards Biggar on Highway 14 at speeds that ranged between 20 km/h to 40 km/h on the rims ofitstires.

At around 5 a.m., RCMP attempted to use a spike belt for a second time to stop the truck. However, the driver of the vehicle was able to avoid the device, driving the truck into the ditch where it became stuck.

The occupants then refused to exit the vehicle, at which time members of the RCMP and Saskatoon police surrounded the car and closed off the area to the public. After five hours, the occupants of the vehicle exited, and surrendered to police without further incident.

Two men and two women are now in police custody, and the incident is now under investigation.

RCMP say further updates will be provided as information becomes available.
