The driver fled the scene, but was soon located by police hiding in the area.

He's been charged with possession of stolen property, impaired driving and failing to provide breath samples.

It was one of three accidents involving alleged impaired drivers police investigated overnight. In one incident a female driver struck a parked car, while in the other a male driver struck a light standard on Lillie Street.

Both have been charged with impaired driving and will be in court to answer the charges next month.
No one was hurt in any of the incidents.

Police have not named any of the suspects.
