(THUNDER BAY, ON) On June 13, 2015 at approximately 8:30 am, officers from the Thunder Bay Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) responded to Fort William First Nation to assist Anishinabek Police Service (APS) with a domestic incident. Prior to police arrival, the suspect male left the residence in a vehicle. Officers observed the vehicle in question and pursued the vehicle. The occupants of the vehicle abandoned the vehicle in the vicinity north of the James Street Bridge and fled south over the James Street Bridge towards Fort William First Nation and into the bush just north of Fort William First Nation.
OPP North West Region Emergency Response Team, OPP Canine Unit and Thunder Bay Police Service Emergency Tactical Unit officers attended the scene to conduct a search of the area.
A female was located shortly thereafter and arrested at the scene.
Officers then conducted a thorough ground search of the area for the two male suspects and they have since been taken into custody safely and are facing criminal charges.
The OPP would like to thank the public and media for their assistance.
The investigation is continuing.
