TABER – A Raymond man is facing charges after a car chase involving Taber Police.
Shortly after 5 a.m. on Wednesday (Jan. 5), Bow Island RCMP contacted Taber Police, informing them that a vehicle had been side-swiped on Highway 3 by a passing vehicle, which continued on towards Taber without stopping.
A member of Taber Police driving a marked cruiser intercepted the suspect vehicle as it arrived in the Town of Taber, and a records check of the licence plate revealed the plate was stolen. The officer attempted to pull the suspect vehicle over, however the driver continued on and the pursuit was terminated. It resumed in the rural area surrounding the community and eventually came to an end near the Village of Barnwell, at which point the driver was arrested without incident.
An investigation determined the driver was prohibited from operating a motor vehicle in Canada.
