On Feb. 5, at approximately 1:00 am, police were driving west on Highway 16 near Gladstone when a vehicle approached from behind and passed police at a very high rate of speed. An attempt was made to stop the vehicle, which ended when driving conditions became dangerous for both vehicles. Police continued to search for the vehicle as it was seen driving north on 265 towards Plumas and turned onto a gravel road. While patrolling, police located the vehicle in a rural property, at which time, the vehicle sped towards the two marked police vehicles and narrowly avoided a collision. While police were at this location, it was found that eight passengers had exited the vehicle before the suspect took off. As a result, police arrested three youths and five adults in relation to the offence and transported them back to Neepawa detachment. Two individuals, Taylyn Meechas and Samuel Francouer, both of Long Plains First Nation, were also arrested on outstanding Warrants of Arrest. While speaking with all parties involved, police were told the identity of the driver.
