Police Get Help Stopping Stolen Vehicle


A little assistance from the public and General Motors helped police nab a young driver and a vehicle reported stolen from Seine River First Nation Sunday night.

Provincial Police were altered first by Treaty Three Police, then tracked the vehicle down based on information from the public who complained of it operating in an erratic manner.

Constable Anne McCoy says when the 2010 Chevrolet Avalanche failed to stop for police, officers turned to General Motors OnStar service who safely shut the truck ignition off.

The driver, who is under the age of 18, faces several charges.
