Driving dangerously in a stolen vehicle has resulted in a 37-year-old man facing multiple charges.

The Regina Police Service (RPS) Aerial Support Unit (ASU) was notified at approximately 9 p.m. on Tues., Oct. 28 of a stolen vehicle speeding on Highway 11 near Lumsden.

The RCMP did not pursue the vehicle and the ASU began to track it from the sky. The vehicle then entered the City of Regina. In addition to travelling at speeds upwards of 100 km/h, the vehicle ran red lights and at one point, was travelling in the wrong direction on Albert Street North.

The suspect eluded a second traffic stop and with the ASU continuing to track it from the sky, the vehicle headed to the south end of Regina.

RPS patrol officers and officers from the RPS Tactical Support Unit (TST) responded on the ground to a call for service. Two tire inflation devices were used in an attempt to immobilize the vehicle, but it continued to evade authorities.

However, due to damage to the tires, the vehicle was moving at a much slower speed. After a second deployment, tires and other parts began falling off the vehicle as it continued through south-central Regina.

At approximately 10:36 p.m., in the area of College Avenue and Toronto Street, the vehicle came to a stop and the suspect driver exited the vehicle and attempted to run from the police. He was quickly caught by the authorities but the suspect continued to actively avoid arrest.

A police service dog was deployed, biting the suspect who was taken into custody without further incident. He was taken to hospital to be treated for injuries consistent with a dog bite.

The suspect has been charged with operation of a conveyance dangerous to the public, flight from Peace Officer, possession of property obtained by crime over $5,000, theft under $5,000, resisting arrest, and failure to comply with conditions of a release order.

The suspect made his first appearance on these charges in Regina Court on Wed., Oct. 29.
