The Dauphin RCMP wants to thank the public after tips led to an arrest in a vehicle theft case.
On October 10th at approximately 6:40 pm, Dauphin RCMP received information that a Ford F150 pickup truck had been stolen from Roblin and was believed to be heading towards Dauphin.
Later that evening, Dauphin RCMP began receiving numerous calls about this same stolen vehicle traveling at high rates of speed on residential streets within the city.
Patrols located the truck in Dauphin, but the culprits fled at dangerously high speeds.
Later, Reports came in from Grandview of a matching vehicle speeding through the area and eventually hitting the ditch.
Two male youths, aged 17 and 15, and a 20-year-old female, all from Roblin, were taken into custody.
The two youths were later released from custody to appear in court at a later date.
Melonie Allarie, 20, was remanded into custody on numerous charges including Theft, Possession of Property Obtained by Crime, Resist Arrest, and Failure to Comply with Release Order Conditions.
Cpl. Kalvin Kristjanson of the Dauphin RCMP was proud to see this response, saying “It is this exact type of community assistance that allows the RCMP to provide safer roads and communities.”.
