A woman is facing multiple charges after a high-speed police pursuit in Lloydminster that left an officer injured.
RCMP say officers responded around 9:00 p.m. on Monday, June 22 to a report of a suspicious vehicle at a local business. Police located a red SUV, which was later confirmed stolen out of Loon Lake, Saskatchewan.
When officers attempted to make the arrest, the driver fled, dragging an officer before speeding away. Police say the pursuit reached speeds of more than 180 kilometres per hour along Highway 17, crossing into Saskatchewan before returning to Lloydminster.
The vehicle was eventually stopped on 47 Avenue, where two suspects attempted to flee but were quickly taken into custody.
A 25-year-old woman from Meadow Lake is facing several charges, including dangerous driving, failing to stop for police, possession of stolen property, and assaulting a peace officer. She remains in custody and is scheduled to appear in Lloydminster court on Thursday, June 25.
The injured officer was treated in hospital and has since been released to recover at home.
