Teen girls involved in chase
Two teenage girls had to be chased down on foot by RCMP after the alleged stolen vehicle they were fleeing in left the road early Thursday.
Const. Kathe DeHeer of city RCMP said the incident started around 1:30 a.m. when officers attempted to stop the vehicle for a minor traffic offence at the intersection of Gaetz Avenue and Piper Drive.
A brief pursuit followed and ended when the suspect vehicle drove off the road at 77th Street and Riverside Drive. The two suspects fled on foot but were tracked down after a brief chase, DeHeer said.
Police determined the vehicle had been stolen late Wednesday night and may have been involved in other offences.
DeHeer said the girls were arrested and charges were pending. No ages were released because charges hadn’t been laid.
