Alleged vehicle theft and police pursuit leads to charges

A 32-year-old woman is facing a dozen charges after a vehicle was allegedly stolen and police gave chase last week.

The North Bay Police Service responded to a vehicle theft at Fisher Street Business around 10 pm on Friday, November 26th. 

Police report the vehicle was travelling at a high rate of speed before stopping in a parking lot of a Lakeshore Drive business.  

That’s where it’s alleged a police cruiser and another vehicle were stuck as the vehicle fled the scene. 

Police pursued the vehicle for a short time and witnessed the vehicle drive into a ditch on Highway 654. 

Charges include theft of a vehicle, impaired and flight from a peace officer. 

The woman is being held in custody awaiting a bail hearing at the North Bay Courthouse.
