Cranbrook RCMP said they were notified that the suspect may be in the Cranbrook area.

Members of Cranbrook general duty, Enhanced Response Unit, police dog service and BC Highway patrol attempted to stop the driver downtown, but the driver fled.

The car was eventually stopped in the Southview area after it collided with two police vehicles and damaged two properties.

The Cranbrook RCMP will be working closely with the other police agencies.
