In the early morning hours of September 20, 2025, two police vehicles sustained minor damage after utilizing a pre-pursuit containment stop to prevent a stolen 2019 Dodge Ram 1500 from fleeing. No injuries were reported.

At 1:16 a.m., Central  District General Patrol officers observed a stolen 2019 Dodge Ram 1500 with Alberta plates travelling northbound on Sherbrook Street at Ellice Avenue. Officers followed the stolen vehicle from a distance while several other units flooded the area. Officers used a safe window of opportunity to box the vehicle in at the intersection of Ellice Avenue and Smith Street.

The 28-year-old driver attempted to break containment, causing minor damage to two police vehicles. The containment was successful and the driver was arrested without further incident. Once identified, police learned the driver is bound by two lifetime driving prohibitions.
