A Cape Breton woman is facing several charges after police say she fled in a stolen truck and nearly hit police vehicles during the incident. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) reported the events on July 3, 2026.
Details of the incident
According to RCMP, officers attempted to stop the stolen truck in the area of Sydney, Nova Scotia, when the driver refused to pull over and sped away. During the pursuit, the driver allegedly drove directly at police vehicles, forcing officers to take evasive action to avoid a collision.
The chase ended when the truck was eventually stopped, and the driver, a woman from Cape Breton, was taken into custody without further incident. Police did not report any injuries resulting from the pursuit.
Charges laid
The woman has been charged with multiple offences, including flight from police, dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, and possession of stolen property. She is scheduled to appear in court at a later date.
RCMP have not released the woman's name, citing the ongoing legal proceedings. The investigation remains active, and police are asking anyone with information to come forward.
