Wilkie RCMP received a complaint of a vehicle theft from a rural property in the RM of Round Valley east of Unity on Nov. 25 around 4:30 p.m. A 2017 Ram 3500 pickup truck was stolen from the property.
Members located the stolen vehicle driving in Wilkie on 7th Avenue and attempted a traffic stop but the vehicle failed to stop for members. The vehicle then drove into a street sign and the vehicle occupants fled on foot.
Both vehicle occupants were arrested a short time later without incident.
The recovered stolen vehicle sustained minor damage.
