Two youths were arrested in Thompson after allegedly stealing a vehicle.

 

RCMP says the vehicle, which was left running in a driveway, was stolen Tuesday afternoon before 1.

 

While the vehicle was fleeing it got stuck in a snowbank at Waterloo Avenue and Brandon Crescent. A vehicle stopped to assist, and the stolen vehicle managed to get out of the snowbank and sideswiped the other vehicle. A passenger in the vehicle received minor injuries.

 

The detachment says they got a number of calls of an erratic driver since the theft was reported. They were also notified of a vehicle that was stuck on the shoulder of Highway 6 that matched the description of the one that was stolen, but it was able to get out and continued to drive erratically towards the city.

 

Police eventually found the vehicle stuck in the snow on Station Road, and two females were arrested without incident.
 

A twelve year-old girl is facing a numerous charges, which include:

- Dangerous Operation of a Motor Vehicle causing Bodily Harm

- Dangerous Operation of a Motor Vehicle

- Flight from Police

-Possession of Property Obtained by Crime

-Theft of Motor Vehicle

 

The other girl alleged to be involved could not be charged because she’s eleven-years-old.
