Police used a tire deflation device to stop the driver of a stolen vehicle in the Haultain neighbourhood Monday night.

The driver tried running away from police before being “apprehended by members of the SPS Canine Unit,” police said in a statement.
The 22-year-old man suffered “minor injuries consistent with a dog bite and was transported to hospital.”
He’s been charged with three counts of evading police, along with charges of dangerous driving, impersonation and breach of court conditions. The man also allegedly provided false information to officers and faces a charge of mischief as a result, police noted.
