(HURON & PERTH COUNTY, ON) - A lengthy police chase that ended early Friday morning resulted in three damaged police vehicles and a long list of criminal charges against a trio from the area.
On Thursday, September 5, 2019 around 11:30 p.m. Perth County OPP officers received information about three suspicious persons with a possible stolen truck on Toronto Street East in Mitchell. Prior to police arrival the trio fled the scene and were later spotted in Vanastra trying to steal a motorcycle. A Huron OPP officer arrived on scene and interrupted the theft however the trio then took off in a stolen pickup truck but not before they intentionally collided with one of the police vehicles on scene.
The stolen truck then flew out of Vanastra at dangerously high speeds away from the officers. A short while later, an officer patrolling in Walton spotted the suspects driving around in a different pickup truck. The officer attempted to stop the pickup truck however the driver failed to stop for the officer and fled the scene.
An officer chased after the suspect vehicle and as the suspects were fleeing they began throwing items at the police vehicle. Other police vehicles converged on the scene, used a spike belt on the fleeing vehicle and ultimately blocked it in.
