Five people have been charged after Wednesday’s erratic driver call near Melfort.

RCMP were called about a Dodge truck that was being driven erratically on Highway 3 west of Melfort early yesterday afternoon.

Police located the vehicle just west of Melfort but the truck didn’t stop for the officers and sped down Saskatchewan Dr.

RCMP say the truck drove into the rural area south of Melfort and the vehicle was later found in some bushes of a field that had been harvested.

When police approached the vehicle, three females were arrested, and two males ran into the bush. They were soon apprehended as well.
