On November 11, 2026, at 4:20 p.m., Headingley RCMP received information that a vehicle stolen the previous day from the RM of Woodlands was seen travelling east on Highway 26, towards Saint-Francois-Xavier. The pickup truck was also hauling a boat.
An officer from the Headingley RCMP detachment located the vehicle and attempted to pull it over. However, the driver fled from police.
Officers used a tire deflation device just north of Saint-Francois-Xavier, but the pickup truck drove into oncoming traffic to avoid it. Another officer made a second attempt to stop the vehicle with a tire-deflation-device south of the community, but once again - the pickup truck maneuvered around the police vehicle, into the ditch and drove away.
Continuing to evade police, the suspect vehicle turned onto a long driveway and collided with a commercial beehive. A male and a female both exited the vehicle, attempting to flee officers but after a short foot pursuit, they were arrested without further incident.
Further investigation revealed that the boat was also stolen from a property in Forrest. Upon searching the female, officers found debit and credit cards that been reported stolen earlier that day to the Portage la Prairie RCMP.
The driver, Hogan Jones, a 31-year-old male from Selkirk, has been charged and remanded in custody for:
- Possession of property obtained by crime over $5,000 x 2;
- Flight from police;
- Dangerous operation of a conveyance; and
- Fail to comply with Probation Order.
The passenger, a 26-year-old female also from Selkirk, has been released on condition with a pending court date for:
- Possession of property obtained by crime over $5,000 x 2;
- Possession of property obtained by crime under $5,000; and
- Flight from police.
Headingley RCMP continue to investigate.
