On October 31, 2022, at approximately 12:05 a.m., a Central District General Patrol unit was in the area of Sargent Avenue and Langside Street when they observed a stolen SUV.

Officers followed the vehicle to McDermot Avenue and McPhillips Street – at which time it began to travel at a high rate of speed. AIR1 subsequently tracked the stolen SUV as police vehicles pulled back.

Soon after, the vehicle turned into a parking lot in the first 100 block of Dorset Street, and both occupants bailed. AIR1 followed the fleeing suspects to the 1800 block of Burrows Avenue, where ground units took them into custody.

Upon his arrest, the male driver fraudulently attempted to identify himself using a stolen driver’s licence. He was also found to have a stolen SIN card (in the same name as the driver’s licence), $50 in Canadian currency and a folding knife.

The female passenger was found to have 4.8 grams of methamphetamine (an estimated street value of $235), $100 in Canadian currency and a can of bear spray.
