A Saskatchewan woman is facing multiple charges after a high-speed pursuit of a stolen car left a Lloydminster RCMP officer injured. The incident occurred on the evening of June 22, when Mounties responded to a report of a suspicious vehicle in a local business parking lot.
Stolen Vehicle Discovered
According to an RCMP news release issued Tuesday, officers arrived at the scene around 9 p.m. and found a red Subaru Outback with two women inside. A police check revealed the vehicle had been reported stolen from Loon Lake, Saskatchewan.
When an officer attempted to arrest the women, the driver accelerated forward, dragging the officer as she fled. The officer was taken to hospital with injuries and later released.
High-Speed Chase
Mounties pursued the vehicle into Saskatchewan on Highway 17, where speeds exceeded 180 km/h. The suspects attempted to double back toward Lloydminster but were quickly taken into custody.
Kailey Roy, 25, of Meadow Lake, Saskatchewan, has been charged with dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, failure to stop for a peace officer, possession of stolen property over $5,000, assault of a peace officer, and two counts of failure to comply with release conditions.
Court Appearance
Roy has been remanded to appear at the Alberta Court of Justice in Lloydminster on June 25. The investigation is ongoing, and police have not released the name of the second woman or indicated whether she faces charges.
