At approximately 10 p.m. on September 18, officers attempted to conduct a traffic stop on a vehicle bearing a stolen license plate travelling north bound on Highway 111 towards the Sackville exit. The vehicle fled from officers and the pursuit was called off due to excessive speeds. The vehicle lost control and went off the shoulder of the road near the Sackville exit and the male suspect, who was the only person in the vehicle, fled on foot. Officers, with the assistance of a K-9 team, located him nearby a short time later. He didn't appear to have any injuries from the accident, however, he was treated for minor injuries due to being bitten by the police service dog. The man is being held for court on Monday to face charges of flight from police, possession of stolen property, failing to remain at the scene of an accident and two counts of breach of probation.
