AGASSIZ – RCMP have made an arrest and impounded a vehicle after it was spotted with red and blue flashing lights. 

In their bi-weekly update, the Agassiz detachment says officers were out on patrol on Yale Road in the Popkum area when they saw the vehicle. 

When they tried to stop it, the vehicle fled into a rural area.
