QUESNEL, B.C. — RCMP arrested a 33-year-old man after he fled from police in the Quesnel area.

Quesnel RCMP Sgt. Clay Kronebusch says the suspect was arrested at approximately 11 p.m. on July 1 on outstanding warrants.

Police found the man driving in the Bouchie Lake area before he fled from police.

“Police were able to deploy a spike belt and disable the vehicle. The suspect was able to make it to the residence of an associate where he abandoned his vehicle, was able to get to a second vehicle and attempted to flee again,” says Kronebusch.

“A second spike belt was deployed, disabling the second vehicle as well. The suspect fled from the vehicle on foot into a wooded area. A police dog service team conducted a dog track and the suspect was located and arrested. Police are recommending additional charges against the man.”
