GREENSTONE, Ont – Provincial police have arrested a 26-year-old man after a vehicle pursuit north of Highway 11.

Shortly after 8 p.m. on Thursday, police observed a vehicle parked on Wild Goose Beach Road in Greenstone.

In a release issued on Friday, police said as this road is not regularly used, so the officer stopped to see if the driver required assistance.

During the interaction with the officer, the driver abruptly drove away.

A member of the Anishnabek Police Service located the vehicle on Highway 11 near Beardmore, but the driver fled from police once again.

Nipigon OPP were able to stop the drive with the use of a spike belt on Highway 11 at Polly Lake Road.

The suspect was arrested and transported to the Nipigon OPP detachment.

He will appear for a bail hearing on Friday.
