A man suspected of several property crimes who fled at high speed from police was finally apprehended in a swamp near Creston
, RCMP are reporting.
The suspect failed to stop for police and continued at a high speed toward Highway 3, and was able to evade police while travelling west on Highway 3, toward the Kootenay Pass."Given the individual being sought was believed to pose a risk to police and public safety, the Southeast District’s Emergency Response Team was deployed," said Cpl. James Grandy, with the RCMP, in a statement.
The officer inside the helicopter spotted the suspect’s truck, which then began travelling back towards Creston. With roadblocks already in place, highway traffic was stopped in both directions as spike belts were deployed. The suspect then fled into the nearby marshlands, where, after an hours long search, the suspect was brought into custody without further incident.
