On November 12, at 2:10 a.m. officers stopped a driver on Symonds Street in Dartmouth for a traffic violation. As the officer approached on foot, the vehicle fled from him. The officer called in the vehicle's direction of travel and within a couple of minutes the suspect vehicle was located unoccupied after it struck at stop sign at Frederick Street & Woodland Avenue. Numerous units and K-9 unit responded to the scene and conducted a search for the suspect that was unsuccessful. During the course of the investigation it was determined that the vehicle was stolen. Evidence located in the vehicle led officers to an address on Lyngby Ave where a 20 year old man was taken into custody without incident.

This matter remains under investigation at this time. Charges are pending in this incident.
