Flight from Dawson Creek police leads to arrests, damaged RCMP cruiser

Two people from the Northwest Territories have been taken into custody after a run in with the RCMP in Dawson Creek.

According to police, it happened just after 2:30 am yesterday (Tuesday), where officers observed a dodge pickup travelling on Highway 97.

The vehicle matched the description of a stolen vehicle police were aware of and attempted to stop it but fled, turning onto Mason Road.

The Dawson Creek RCMP received assistance from the Fort St. John detachment and the vehicle was located on Mason Road where it stopped then accelerated backwards at a rapid speed crashing into the front end of a police cruiser.

The vehicle was later located in a patch of trees where attempts were made to conceal it by using vegetation.

The investigation is ongoing and there are no reported injuries.
