Pembina Valley RCMP have charged two people after an incident in Winkler last Sunday, May 24.

While officers were following up on a theft from the Schanzenfeld area, they noticed the suspect vehicle within city limits and initiated a traffic stop. However, police say the vehicle refused to pull over and instead continued to drive away, eventually pulling into a driveway where the occupants began to flee on foot.

With the help of members from Winkler Police Service, the two men were shortly found and arrested.

A 20 year old man from Winnipeg and a 19 year old man from Winkler have been charged with flight from police, obstructing a police officer and failing to comply with court conditions.

One man was held in custody while the other was released on an undertaking.
