Driver arrested after stolen vehicle involved in collision
A woman has been charged after being found in a stolen vehicle that struck parked vehicles.
On the afternoon of Sunday, April 13, Thunder Bay Police Service Primary Response officers were on patrol in the area of Kaministiquia River Heritage Park when they observed a pickup truck that had been reported stolen.
Officers began to approach the vehicle, which appeared to be attempting to evade the police officers operating a marked cruiser. The suspect vehicle drove away at a high rate of speed. Officers did not engage in a pursuit in the interests of public safety.
The vehicle later crashed into two parked vehicles on a nearby street.
Officers approached the vehicle and located an adult female who was suspected of being the driver.
The female provided officers with an identity that was determined to be false.
Kathleen STEPHENSON, 31, has been charged with Possession of Stolen Property, Obstruct Police, Dangerous Operation of a Vehicle, and Breach of Release Order.
The accused appeared in court on Monday and has been remanded into custody with a future appearance date.
