RCMP officers from The Pas and Moose Lake detachments stopped a stolen SUV whose driver refused to pull over by deploying a spike belt on Feb. 6.

Four teenagers were arrested by RCMP between Moose Lake and The Pas on Feb. 6 with the use of a spike belt that disabled their stolen vehicle after the driver refused to pull over for police.

Several knives, bear spray and drug paraphernalia were seized from the vehicle, which had been reported stolen earlier that day.

The four occupants  — an 18-year-old male, a 16-year-old male and two 14-year-old males — were taken into custody and transported to The Pas RCMP detachment.

The vehicle came to the attention of the police through a report of an SUV with several occupants driving around Moose Lake and discharging bear spray from the vehicle. Police also received reports of the occupants brandishing a firearm and being involved in an attempted abduction earlier in the day.

Officers from the Moose Lake and The Pas RCMP detachments conducted patrols and located the SUV heading west towards The Pas on Provincial Road 287, which is where police eventually stopped the vehicle.

RCMP continue to investigate.
