Just after midnight on September 29, 2022, Moosomin RCMP received a report from Manitoba RCMP that a pick-up truck towing a trailer – both of which were reported stolen in Ontario – was travelling westbound on Highway #1.

Officers from both Manitoba RCMP and Moosomin, Broadview and Indian Head RCMP responded as the vehicle travelled west. The truck pulled into a weigh scale east of Moosomin, almost hitting an RCMP vehicle. Two individuals then exited the truck, approached a semi which had been parked at the weigh scale, threatened the adult male semi driver and got inside, driving the semi onto Highway #1. The adult male semi driver was then thrown from the semi, which continued driving on Highway #1. The driver was taken to hospital with injuries described as non-life-threatening in nature.

Officers set up a spike belt to disable the semi. As it approached the spike belt, the trailer caught fire. The semi then swerved to avoid the spike belt and came to a stop in the centre median. The two individuals inside were then arrested without incident.
