Shots fired, two arrested near Maidstone
Two people are in custody facing multiple charges following a pursuit that ended with shots fired just off Highway 16 west of Delmas Saturday.
Maidstone RCMP said they received a report of a fuel theft from a gas station in Lashburn late Saturday morning. The theft involved a black Dodge Caravan taxi cab, RCMP said, which also matched the description of a suspect vehicle in an alleged robbery and assault with a weapon on Friday in Regina.
RCMP located the vehicle on Highway 16 and activated their emergency equipment, but the van did not stop.
A pursuit began and the RCMP followed the van eastbound on Highway 16 with the assistance of North Battleford RCMP and Police Dog Services. The van stopped just off Highway 16 west of Delmas, and RCMP said a firearm was discharged from the van. This resulted in an RCMP member discharging their own firearm.
