Mar 9, 2022 | 4:56 PM

A Red Deer County man is facing several charges after a crash in the city’s north end involving a stolen vehicle.

On Jan. 21, Red Deer RCMP located a stolen vehicle, which had been reported stolen earlier that day. Upon attempts to stop it, Mounties say the vehicle fled.

Later that evening at approximately 10 p.m., members of the Crime Reduction Unit located the stolen vehicle, but the vehicle once again fled as police attempted to stop it.

CRT officers then came upon the stolen vehicle after it had struck another vehicle at the intersection of Gaetz and 71 Street where the stolen vehicle had driven through a red light. Following the collision, the suspect exited the vehicle and fled on foot.

Red Deer RCMP members followed and arrested the suspect as he was attempting to gain entrance to a home in the area.
