A 49-year-old Mount Pearl man is facing charges after allegedly crashing a stolen van into a Holyrood business over the weekend. VOCM’s Linda Swain reports.
RCMP in Holyrood received a call from the RNC shortly after 8:00 am. on Sunday who informed them of a stolen van that did not stop for police in the metro area.
The truck was last seen on Peace Keepers Way in CBS and heading towards Holyrood.
RCMP located the vehicle in Holyrood and attempted a traffic stop, but the truck sped away. Police did not pursue the vehicle as it was in a residential area.
A short time later, police located the truck that had crashed into a business. David Power, who was not injured, was arrested at the scene and taken to the RCMP station for a drug evaluation.
He now faces a list of charges including fleeing police, dangerous driving, possession of stolen property, drug impaired driving and refusing to comply with a requirement. Power also faces charges brought by the RNC including vehicle theft, fleeing police and dangerous driving.
The investigation continues.
