KAMLOOPS — A 28-year-old man is facing multiple charges after fleeing from police during a traffic stop. 

The Kamloops RCMP Traffic Section, Canadian Pacific Railway Police, and the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance were involved in a joint traffic enforcement project on Mission Flats Road Thursday morning when they stopped a man for speeding. 

Cpl. Jodi Shelkie says the man then decided to flee. 

“The suspect drove past those police, and then exited the road onto a train track – he followed the train track, [and] got two flat tires. The driver and his female passanger then got out of the truck and ran up a hill, and into some brush,” explained Shelkie.

Officers caught up with and arrested the pair, who are from Grande Prairie.
