On Thursday, October 13 at about 10:20 pm, members of Central West Division observed a silver Honda driving erratically in the area of Simcoe Street and Glover Road in Oshawa. Officers attempted to pull over the vehicle at a red light and the driver sped off and failed to stop for police. Officers terminated the pursuit due to public safety concerns, said the statement.
Air1 was in the area and located the fleeing vehicle as it travelled eastbound from Highway 407. Officers followed at a safe distance and were able to deploy stop-sticks near Highway 35, causing the deflation of the tires.
The suspect vehicle stopped at Homestead Road and Pontypool Road in Kawartha Lakes. The suspect fled on foot and was arrested by uniformed officers without incident.
The suspect was charged, among others, as a novice driver. Name and further details available at www.drps.ca.
He was released on an Undertaking.
Anyone with new information about this investigation is asked to contact Cst. Sutherland of East Division at 1-888-579-1520 ext. 3980.
