Two men are facing charges after a police pursuit on Friday.

The suspects fled the Timberlea area in a white sedan after a concerned citizen phoned police. The vehicle was driving erratically through the residential area.

RCMP found the vehicle and initiated a traffic stop, ending in the arrest of the male driver.

During the arrest, the passenger moved to the driver seat and fled the scene.

Once the vehicle was spotted for a second time, another officer tried to initiate a second traffic stop when the vehicle fled, leading to a pursuit.

The pursuit ended when a tire deflation device was deployed in the Thickwood area.

Both men are in custody facing several charges each.

Two police vehicles, along with a civilian vehicle sustained minor damages and no injuries occurred.
