Spike Belts Fail To Stop Van

Nipigon and Marathon O.P.P now have a man and a woman in custody but apprehending the two proved to be difficult. Provincial Police say a dark grey van stole gas from a service station in Wawa yesterday. Marathon O.P.P. spotted the suspect vehicle, tried to pull it over but to no avail. Twice they tried using spike belts to stop the vehicle but it continued westward. Eventually Nipigon O.P.P. spotted the vehicle yesterday afternoon in a parking lot and arrested the man and woman with no incident. They remain in custody pending a court appearance.
