Stolen Subaru leads to pair of arrests in Saint John

Two 18-year-old men will be in court this spring after being arrested for stealing a vehicle Wednesday evening.

According to the Saint John Police, they received a report at 7:20 p.m. Wednesday that a 2024 Subaru Outback had been stolen from Charlotte Street.

The vehicle was located by police but fled several times when officers attempted to conduct a traffic stop.

With assistance from the Saint John Street Crime Integrated Enforcement Unit, the vehicle was found in a parking lot on Manawagonish Road and remotely shut off by Subaru.

The driver was arrested after a short foot pursuit, and the passenger was tracked by a police service dog and found in a shrink-wrapped boat at a business on Fairville Boulevard.

The two men were released from custody and will appear in Saint John provincial court on April 9.
