A 17-year-old boy faces a raft of charges related to assault, carjacking and vehicle theft after a police chase involving a stolen SUV, in which two cruisers were rammed.<\/p>\n
Police spotted a stolen Nissan Rogue\u00a0around 8:45 a.m. Wednesday and started following it through the Windsor Park neighbourhood.<\/p>\n
They tried to block it in on Fermor Avenue, but the Rogue rammed the cruisers and drove over a spike belt before speeding off, a police news release said on Friday.<\/p>\n
The damaged Rogue was found abandoned on Cypress Bay and officers arrested a teen on Gatineau Bay after a brief foot chase, the release said. They also found a folding knife they allege he tossed away during the chase.<\/p>\n
Police allege the teen is linked to 16 vehicle thefts in southeast Winnipeg between Dec. 3 and March 11.<\/p>\n
In one case, on Dec. 8, the owner of a Kia Forte was hit by the vehicle while trying to stop the theft, police said. They did not provide any information on the extent of the injuries.<\/p>\n
The teen is also accused of driving a stolen Hyundai Elantra that rammed two police cruisers on Feb. 7. The driver got away.<\/p>\n
After the teen’s arrest, investigators searched his home and found keys for stolen vehicles and clothing that matched the suspect in surveillance videos, they said.<\/p>\n
The teen faces a total of 68 charges: 16 counts of theft of a motor vehicle, six counts of assaulting police officers with a weapon, robbery (carjacking), two counts of flight from police, resisting arrest, two counts of dangerous operation of a vehicle, break and enter with intent, theft under $5,000, possession of a weapon, mischief under $5,000, and 36 counts of failing to comply with prior release orders.<\/p>\n
He remains in custody.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Listen to this article Estimated 2 minutes The audio version of this article is generated by AI-based technology.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":533976,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[194296],"tags":[49,48,22073],"class_list":["post-533975","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-winnipeg","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-winnipeg"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/533975","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=533975"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/533975\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/533976"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=533975"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=533975"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=533975"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
