Saturday evening just before 8:30, a Saskatoon Police member spotted a stolen vehicle in the 20th Street and Avenue N area. Given a number of safety concerns, a pursuit was not initiated.
A short time later the officer spotted the vehicle in a parking lot and the two occupants, 1 man and 1 woman fled on foot.
The woman was arrested after a brief foot chase while a K9 track was called in to track the man. The search with the K9 was successful and the man was arrested a short time later and received minor injuries from a dog bite.
A search of the vehicle lead to the recovery of a shotgun and bear spray.
While the officer was searching the car, an uncapped needle poked him.
The officer then went to the hospital for medical treatment.
A 42 year old man and a 18 year old woman face multiple charges including possession of stolen property.
Both will appear in front of a Justice of the Peace Sunday.

The Candian government wants the country’s banks to identify, in customers’ bank statements when they receive the carbon rebate, that it is labelled as such.
Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault says the lack of a clear identifier is contributing to confusion about carbon price rebates, so he is going to change the law if he has to in order to force the big banks to identify the carbon rebate by name when doing direct deposits.
The first rebate deposits in 2022 were labelled very generically, which meant recipients had no idea why they were getting the money.
T-D and B-MO have adopted the government’s requested “CdaCarbonRebate” entry, R-B-C and Scotiabank say they couldn’t make the change in time for the rollout, and C-I-B-C is still calling it “Deposit Canada.”
