Two men were arrested last night after driving a stolen vehicle onto a property, hitting and killing the homeowner's dog, before getting stuck.

Around 11 p.m. last night, Spruce Plains RCMP got a report of suspicious people on a property on Road 64 West, in the RM of Westlake-Gladstone.

One of the men had gone up to the home asking for help getting their vehicle unstuck. The homeowner was suspicious so he called the police and when they checked the licence plate, they discovered the vehicle was stolen.

Officers responded and found one suspect still inside the vehicle, while the other was found hiding in an outbuilding on the property.

A 28-year-old from Sandy Bay First Nation has been charged with Possession of Property Obtained by Crime, Failing to Comply, and Obstructing a Peace Officer, While a 34-year-old from the First Nation has been charged with Possession of Property Obtained by Crime.
