At around 9:30 a.m., Sgt. Sandy'Ryrie of Durham Regional Crime Stoppers observed a vehi- cle driving erratically in the Ajax area. Ryrie says his instincts told n that the car was stolen. however, when he radioed the licence plate number into the Durham Regional Police dis- p atch, the response was that the ercedes had not be reported as stolen. Still relying on his instincts, Ryrfe continue to follow the vehi- cle. Several police cruisers from Whitby, Oshawa and Pickering joined in the pursuit as the,. vehicle travelled east bound on H 401 from Ajax. Wen the vehicle reached Whitby, it left Hw 401 and went north on Brock St. a short dis- tance before spinning around and heading southbound. The vehicle then went back onto the 401, travelling east and weaving from lane to lane, according to police. The vehicle continued east- bound past the Harmony Rd. exit in Oshawa, and then pulled over to the side of the highway before reversing on the 401 back to the cutoff and up the ramp leading to Bloor St. Police say the vehicle almost struck several other vehicles when it ran a red signal light and travelled over the 401 bridge on Bloor St. The suspect then proceeded to go back onto Hwy 401, travelling west from the Harmony Rd. ramp. Durham police cruisers attempted to stop the suspect on Brock St. in Whitby. Police say the suspect respon- ded to the efforts bvywaving and smiling, but refused to stop. Several cruisers eventually boxed the vehicle in. However, police say the suspect rammed the lead cruier several times, and cut off another cruiser, caus- ing it to collide with a gravel truck. . The suspect was finally forced off the road at Rougemount Dr. in Pickering, where he was arrested. Ryrie, who stayed involved in the pursuit by helping to keep trafficback and out of danger, says it was not a "high-speed chase. "Speeds on the 401 never went over 110 kilometres (per hour)," s s Ryrie. t was later discovered that Whitby residents have until 4 p.m., Nov. 10, to nominate their choice for the Peter Perry Award as Whitby's outstanding citizen.
