The officers inside the police vehicle were uninjured in the crash, the Mounties noted.
Police saw the stolen vehicle stop at a nearby home, where the driver was arrested. A second person was also arrested from inside the home.
The following day, RCMP officers raided the home. Police said the officers seized a handgun, a replica gun, gun parts, ammunition, “small amounts” of methamphetamine and paraphernalia associated with drug trafficking.
Police also recovered a second vehicle which had previously been reported stolen, along with stolen tools, a stolen laptop and portable radios that were believed to have been taken during a break-in on the Fist Nation last week. A third person was also arrested during the search.
A 50-year-old man from the Moosomin First Nation is now facing charges of driving while prohibited, flight from a peace officer, possession of property obtained by crime over $5,000, possessing weapons contrary to a court order and dangerous driving.
An 18-year-old and a 27-year-old man, both also from the Moosomin First Nation, were each charged with possession of property obtained by crime over $5,000. The 50-year-old man is also facing charges of failing to comply with conditions of a release order and possession of weapons contrary to a court order.
All three appeared in court on Friday, the RCMP said.
