During a fly along with the Regina Police Service (RPS) Aerial Support Unit (ASU), CTV News captured officers in a high-speed chase.
The pursuit included Indian Head and White Butte RCMP who got assistance from their eye in the sky.
“Air support is very much a team environment,” said ASU pilot Sgt. Steve Wyatt. “We provide [ground officers] with real-time information but we can’t act on it.”
According to Saskatchewan RCMP, Mounties received a call around 1 p.m. on March 18 for a vehicle stuck in the snow near Kendal, Sask.
“Officers responded and while en route observed the described vehicle driving on a grid road,” RCMP said in a media release. “When police approached, the vehicle suddenly sped up significantly.”
The officer engaged their emergency lights and attempted a traffic stop but the vehicle did not stop.
A few hours later, the same vehicle was reported suspicious near McLean, Sask.
