North Bay OPP say a car failing to stop has led to the recovery of a vehicle reported stolen from Toronto in 2010.
In the early morning of Thursday, North Bay OPP say they were told of a car heading north on Highway 11 at a high speed from the Almaguin Highlands area. Police in the Almaguin area had tried to stop it, but the car kept speeding along.
Officers say they were able to locate the car near Powassan. As police were following it, the car stopped suddenly causing a crash with the police cruiser.
Later, officials say they found the car on Line Three in the Township of Bonfield with no occupants in the vehicle. Canine officers were able to find two people hiding not far from where they found the vehicle.
As a result, a 29-year-old from Bonfield was arrested and charged with:
- Failure or Refusal to Comply with Demand
- Dangerous Operation
- Flight from Police
- Possession of Property Obtained by Crime over $5000
- Driving While Under Suspension
- Race of Motor Vehicle – Stunt
- Use Plate Not Authorized for Vehicle
The accused has been released but will appear before court in North Bay on June 16. The second person was released unconditionally.
