Man in custody after high-risk traffic stop in north end

A man is in police custody and facing a charge of evading police after a high-risk traffic stop near the Travelodge Hotel on Monday morning.

At around 7 a.m., Saskatoon police were notified by Warman RCMP that a red Ford half-ton truck was travelling into Saskatoon.

The truck was connected to an attempted break and enter in Langham. A member of the Saskatoon Police Service’s canine unit tried to stop the vehicle as it reached the city, but the driver refused to stop.

A tire deflation device was used and successfully disabled the vehicle. It came to a stop outside the hotel and three people were taken into custody.

The RCMP is continuing its investigation into the attempted break and enter.
