Police arrested a 29 year old man after a high speed car chase and a two hour search on foot in Newfoundland early Sunday morning. The St. John's police responded to an alarm set off at an Indian store at about 1 am, and two suspects were seen leaving the site. The suspects' vehicle was seen and officers tried to conduct a traffic stop. Authorities say the vehicle refused to stop, launching police into a long car chase. The driver lost control, came to a stop without causing any damage and then fled the scene. After a long foot pursuit, the offices caught one of the suspects, who is now facing charges of breaking and entering, dangerous driving and fleeing police. They are now looking for the second suspect, who is still at large.
This kind of story really makes me wonder what some people are thinking when they do something like this. The young man who was arrested, and his friend put not only their lives at risk, but the police and any other civilians in the area. The dangerous driving could have led to many deaths and injuries, which would have made this much bigger news. Luckily their was none, however it could have happened. People need to know that when they do something like this, they are putting many people in the communities lives at risk. I hope that they find the second suspect so that the two young men can get what they deserve.
