Woman and teenager arrested after fleeing from police
A Regina woman and teenage boy are facing several charges after fleeing from police on Thursday.
Officers identified a 17-year-old boy who was wanted on multiple warrants driving a vehicle but soon lost visual contact, according to a release from the Regina Police Service (RPS).

Police found a firearm and several rounds of ammunition through a search of the teenager and vehicle.
The 17-year-old boy is facing several numerous charges including possession of a firearm contrary to prohibition order, possession of property obtained by crime over $5,000 and dangerous driving.
The 40-year-old woman is facing several charges including flight from a peace officer and possession of firearm contrary to prohibition order.
