A Red Deer man faces charges after leading police on a high-speed chase through Edmonton.

On November 18 at approximately 10:20 p.m., Leduc RCMP stopped a vehicle for a traffic offence on Highway 2 near Highway 625.

Police say the vehicle pulled to a stop, but failed to remain stopped and fled from police at a high rate of speed, leading to a pursuit being initiated.

The vehicle continued to drive at a high rate of speed into Edmonton, nearly colliding with a civilian vehicle before it was abandoned by the driver, who fled on foot. A female passenger was located in the vehicle and later arrested for failure to comply with conditions of recognizance.

Edmonton Police along with support helicopter, Air 1 and canine unit assisted in locating and arresting the male driver. No injuries were sustained as a result of this incident.
