Two people were arrested following an unsuccessful attempt to evade police on the weekend.

On December 3, 2022 at around 12:30 a.m., police initiated a traffic stop on an out-of-province vehicle in the 300 block of Avenue J South. The vehicle failed to stop resulting in a tire deflation device being successfully deployed; it was located abandoned a short time later in the 300 block of Winnipeg Avenue. Fresh tracks in the snow led police to locating the first suspect nearby while members of the Air Support Unit guided a canine team to a second suspect fleeing through back yards; both were arrested without incident.

Continued investigation resulted in police seizing a 12-gauge shotgun, 10-gauge shotgun, air rifle, bear spray, knife, various rounds of unspent ammunition, a large quantity of hydromorphone pills, $360 CAD, and paraphernalia consistent with drug trafficking.

A 31-year-old Martensville woman and a 30-year-old Saskatoon man collectively face a number of charges relating to drug trafficking, possession of the proceeds of crime, fraudulent personation, and being at large on a release order; they also face several weapons-related charges.
