Arrest - Dangerous Driving / Firearm - Saskatoon

The Saskatoon Police Service has charged two men after a dangerous driving incident on Thursday.

On August 4th, 2022, at approximately 7:15 p.m., officers attempted to make a traffic stop near the intersection of 22nd Street and Avenue P. The driver did not stop and continued driving at high speeds. The SPS Air Support Unit was able to track the vehicle, which stopped momentarily, in the 100 block of Circle Drive. Officers arrested one suspect at that location, while the vehicle continued outside of the city. A search found the 25-year-old man to be in possession of a loaded sawed-off rifle.

The ASU continued to track the vehicle as it fled outside the city, along with officers from the SPS and RCMP. The driver, a 26-year-old man, eventually stopped in the village of Krydor, SK. He attempted to flee on foot, but was arrested without further incident.

The 26-year-old man is charged with Dangerous Driving, Evading Police and Operation of a Vehicle While Prohibited.

The 25-year-old man is charged with six firearm related charges and Breach of Conditions.
