A 30 year old Saskatoon man is facing charges following an incident in which the driver of a stolen vehicle attempted to evade police.

At approximately 8:30 p.m. officers received a report of a male in a parked car, acting suspiciously at 29th Street and Idywyld Drive. While not able to initially locate the vehicle, they spotted it minutes later travelling on 23rd Street and attempted to conduct a traffic stop. The driver refused to stop and began driving erratically. Officers did not pursue for safety reasons. Minutes later it was reported that a collision between the Dodge Journey and a parked car had occurred at Park Ave. and 5th Street East. The suspect was located in a parking lot at Cumberland Ave. and 8th Street East.

The vehicle was reported to have been stolen from Meadow Lake, SK. The driver was found to have Canada-wide driving prohibitions.

The 30 year old man is now facing charges including; Dangerous Driving, Evade Police, Driving While Prohibited (x3) and Possession of Stolen Property.
