TABER, AB – The Taber Police Service (TPS) says two people were apprehended after allegedly fleeing from police.

At approximately 12:45 p.m. on Sunday, November 20, 2022, TPS responded to a complaint about a suspicious vehicle that was seen on the private property of a business.

Officers attempted to conduct a traffic stop on the vehicle, but the driver allegedly fled through residential areas at a high rate of speed. The vehicle reportedly left the community westbound.

TPS says “a pursuit was not initiated for public safety.”

Approximately one hour later, the vehicle was located in Coaldale after being involved in a collision. The driver and passenger were arrested on scene.
