A tweet from the Saskatoon Police Service Air Support Unit Wednesday stated, “Evading police and dangerous driving has become the normal”.

In the tweet today they also say the occupants of the vehicle they were following were allegedly throwing bags of meth out the window.

Meanwhile, Chief Troy Cooper, in his year end interview with CJWW News, says a lot of the stolen vehicles and evading police situations are a manifestation of addictions, and the social issues that create addiction and gang involvement. But he says as they educate the public more about leaving keys in the car or leaving cars running and unlocked, that they will eventually be able to see the number of vehicles stolen and chases undertaken – reduced.

Chief Cooper says stolen vehicle numbers in the city are down in 2018. And as for the Saskatoon Police Service, after the chase they tweeted about apparently those involved couldn’t out run the air support unit.
