The Regina Police Service has charged a 30-year-old man after allegedly stealing a vehicle and threatening officers, saying he was positive for COVID-19.
Police say they saw a van driving at a high speed in Regina’s North Central neighbourhood shortly before midnight on Saturday.
Officers were not able to stop the van nor get its licence plate information. A short time later, the van drove by a marked police unit parked on 4th Avenue between McTavish and Argyle Streets, swerving towards police.
Police said the officer sitting inside the car was able to avoid getting hit. At about the same time, Regina police’s communication centre received a call from a resident, saying their vehicle was stolen.
