WINNIPEG – A teen boy in Winnipeg is facing over a dozen charges after a vehicle was stolen and a city transit bus was rammed.
Police say the 16-year-old’s charges include vehicle theft, dangerous driving and possessing a prohibited or restricted firearm.
The charges come after officers in Winnipeg’s north end tried to stop a 2014 Mazda 3 GT on Friday, but the driver sped off.
Investigators say the vehicle drove through a stop sign just a few blocks away and plowed into the side of a transit bus, but nobody was injured.
Police say the driver got out and ran, but was arrested and remains in custody.
Officers say they searched the car, which was reported stolen earlier Friday, and found a handgun with its serial numbers “obliterated,” along with an extended gun magazine and weapon light.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published Dec. 28, 2025.
