Officers on patrol located the stolen vehicle on White Street, in Flin Flon, and initiated a traffic stop, but the vehicle refused to stop and fled at a low rate of speed.
The vehicle turned onto Lake Street, a dead end, and officers contained the area. The stolen vehicle stopped, and when officers approached, the driver refused to listen to commands, hit the gas, struck two homes and became stuck in a snowbank.
The driver and passenger were arrested.

- Flight from Peace Officer
- Impaired Operation of a Motor Vehicle
- Resisting Arrest x2

The passenger, a 15-year-old female from Deschambault Lake, SK, was released for court at a later date in Flin Flon, where she will face a charge of Possession of Property Obtained by Crime.
Flin Flon RCMP continue to investigate.
