A 30-year-old Kitchener man has been charged with 24 offences following an attempted flight from police in that city.
It was on Saturday morning just before 7 a.m. when police responded to the area of Greenfield Avenue and Traynor Avenue for a reported suspicious vehicle.
Police said the driver of that vehicle was identified as a man wanted on a warrant for outstanding charges.
As officers attempted to apprehend that male, it’s alleged the suspect rammed two police cruisers and intentionally drove through a fence to escape.
That man was taken into custody shortly after by the service’s Special Response Unit and Canine Unit.
That 30-year-old Kitchener man now faces the following charges:
- Impaired operation of a vehicle
- Possession of stolen property over $5,000
- Careless use of ammunition
- Possess weapon contrary to prohibition order
- Dangerous Operation of a Motor Vehicle (multiple counts)
- Flight from police
- Assault police
- Resist arrest
The investigation is still ongoing – and further charges are anticipated.
