Police had a wild chase around Westside Road this past weekend.

RCMP received information that a wanted man was at a home on Head of the Lake Road near Vernon on Sunday, May 12 at approximately 2:15 p.m.

On arrival, police noted a vehicle associated to the individual in the driveway and observed the man enter the residence through a patio door.

鈥淒espite requests from police for the man to exit the residence, the man refused to cooperate,鈥� said Cpl. Tania Finn, media relations officer with the Vernon North Okanagan RCMP. 鈥淭he suspect fled on foot from our officers through a side door and over a fence into several yards.鈥�

While additional police units were responding to the scene to assist, the man circled back and attempted to flee from the property in a vehicle at a high rate of speed, colliding with a police vehicle.

The suspect vehicle went off road and eventually got stuck in a field and the man abandoned it and escaped on foot.

The Police Dog Section was called in, but was unable to locate the suspect.
