Two repeat offenders were arrested in a stolen vehicle on Saturday night.
Police say the vehicle was spotted just before 6:00 on Chief Lake Road.
Police say the driver evaded them for “several hours,” and the RCMP helicopter was eventually called in to help, and when the car was found on Tear Drop Forest Service Road the driver tried to escape the police.
It was eventually taken out by a spike belt, then the driver tried to run on foot.
“Both he and the passenger were quickly arrested by police officers. The two occupants of the vehicle, identified as Clayton Angus Middlemiss and Taylor Madison Dodd, are known to police,” said Corporal Jenn Cooper.
Nine charges have been approved following the incident:

Taylor Maddison Dodd

Middlemiss was also wanted on nine other arrest warrants. Both will remain in custody until their court appearance.
