On April 13, 2020, at approximately 0620 hours Medicine Hat 911 Communications received a complaint that a vehicle had just been stolen from a residence on Woodman Avenue SE. Patrol members attended to the area and located the vehicle a short distance away, in motion, and being driven toward a dead end cul-de-sac. Police officers followed but before a vehicle stop could be initiated the driver did a U-turn and began to flee the area. The unknown driver rammed the approaching police cruiser to facilitate their escape causing considerable vehicle damage. No police officers were injured as a result of this incident.

The stolen vehicle was last seen leaving the city Eastbound on Highway 41A. The vehicle was described as a mid-90’s White Ford F250 Regular Cab with a full box canopy and bearing Saskatchewan Licence Plate 162 JSB.
