On March 11, 2026, the Winnipeg Police Bail Compliance Unit (BCU) arrested four suspects who fled from a stolen vehicle in the Elmwood area. The driver remains in custody.
At approximately 8:10 p.m., BCU officers observed a stolen 2011 Ford Mustang in the area of Talbot Avenue and Stadacona Street. When officers attempted a traffic stop, the driver fled at a high rate of speed.
