According to RCMP, officers with the Onion Lake detachment received a report of a suspicious person outside a residence on Feb. 20.
Police say an individual arrived at the property in a truck and broke the window of a vehicle parked outside.
Officers located a truck matching the description and attempted to conduct a traffic stop but the driver fled at a high rate of speed.
Mounties asked nearby detachments, along with the Onion Lake Fire Rescue Peacekeepers, to watch for the vehicle.
At approximately 2 p.m., officers with the Maidstone RCMP located a truck matching the description on Highway 3 heading west toward Highway 17.
Police again attempted a traffic stop, but the vehicle fled at high speed back toward the Onion Lake area.
Later that day, the Onion Lake Fire Rescue Peacekeepers notified police the truck had been located parked outside a residence. Officers attended the home and arrested three individuals.
Police say the truck had previously been reported stolen from Two Hills and the licence plate attached to it had also been reported stolen.
Following further investigation by Onion Lake and Maidstone RCMP, 24-year-old Loralee McAdam of Onion Lake has been charged with flight from a peace officer and two counts of possession of property obtained by crime.
McAdam is scheduled to appear in Lloydminster Provincial Court on April 1.
Meanwhile, 27-year-old Germain Gamble of Onion Lake was charged with the same offences.
He appeared in court on March 5, where he pleaded guilty to flight from police. He was sentenced to 161 days in custody and one year of probation. The remaining charges against him were withdrawn.
A third individual arrested in the incident was released without charge.
