One man is facing multiple charges following an incident where a stolen vehicle evaded police late Saturday night.
On April 25, 2026 at around 11:30 p.m. while conducting routine patrols in the area of 22nd Street West and Avenue I North, Saskatoon Police Service (SPS) officers located a vehicle that had been reported stolen.
Officers were quickly able to confirm the vehicle had been stolen and initiated their vehicle’s emergency lights as the suspect vehicle travelled northbound on Circle Drive; it did not stop for police.
Officers continued to follow the vehicle to 45th Street West where a tire deflation device was successfully deployed; however, the vehicle continued to evade.
A police vehicle was then used to bring the suspect vehicle to a stop on Highway 16. Officers from the Saskatoon Police Service and Corman Park Police Service observed three occupants inside the vehicle. The driver of the vehicle did not comply with police commands and a conducted energy weapon (CEW) was discharged by police.
All three occupants were then arrested without further incident.
Officers then observed what were believed to be self-inflicted injuries on the driver of the vehicle and provided life-saving measures until paramedics arrived and transported the man to hospital for further medical treatment.
The 36-year-old man has been charged with evading police, dangerous driving, possession of stolen property over $5000, and breaching court-imposed conditions (x3).
