RCMP and the Calgary Police Service worked together to bring an end to an incident that began in Calgary and found its way to Airdrie before ending in Didsbury.
A 26 year old Didsbury man faces several charges.
It all began around 10:00 a.m. Monday morning when mounties in Didsbury and Olds were alerted to a stolen vehicle which was allegedly involved in collisions with two Calgary Police Service vehicles.
This vehicle then left Calgary and headed to Airdrie where it was reportedly involved in a “gas and dash” at a local gas station.
While on its way to Didsbury, RCMP officers located the vehicle using its own GPS system but when the vehicle spotted a marked police cruiser at a gas station, it kept going.
Police deployed a spike belt near a stop sign which the stolen vehicle slowly drove over.
The driver and lone occupant in the vehicle fled on foot but was apprehended by police a short time later and turned over to Calgary police.
No court date for Jesse James Hoffman has been announced.
