A Guelph boy faces several charges after fleeing a Guelph Police Service officer earlier this week.
Just after 2:30 pm Wednesday the officer observed a vehicle being driven without licence plates in the area of Clair Road East and Gordon Street. When the officer attempted to stop the vehicle the driver sped up, running a red light and numerous stop signs and driving through a residential area at nearly double the speed limit.
The officer discontinued the pursuit in the interest of public safety and a short time later located the vehicle abandoned. The owner attended and provided information about who had been driving.
On Thursday a 14-year-old Guelph boy attended the police station with his parents and was arrested for flight from police, dangerous driving, taking a motor vehicle without consent and driving without a licence. He will appear in court August 12.
