Two people are wanted in connection to police pursuits and a carjacking that happened on Wednesday, July 6, 2022.
Officers on patrol near Des Meurons Street and Goulet Street spotted a stolen vehicle being driven westbound on Goulet by a female. When the driver saw police they took off at a high rate of speed. Police pursued but soon aborted the chase when suspects driving became dangerous. The suspect hit a vehicle on the Queen Elizabeth Bridge and continued to flee into St. Boniface.
When the suspects reached the 600 block of Archibald they switched vehicles and jumped into a vehicle that had been previously stolen. Police spotted the suspects in the second vehicle and another pursuit was initiated. The pursuit was ended when the driver of the stolen vehicle began speeding the wrong way on Marion Street into oncoming traffic.
At 7:45 pm officers learned that a carjacking had just happened in the 300 block of Monroe Avenue. An elderly female in her 70s was pulled from her rental vehicle by the same two suspects. The suspects fled.
Soon afterwards the victim’s credit card was used at a convenience store.
Police searched the area but were unable to locate the suspects.
Anyone with information that can help investigators is asked to call (204) 986-6219.
