A 16 year old Innisfil youth is charged after police say he fled a traffic stop and had to be tracked by the K-9 unit.
The incident happened Tuesday when police responded to a driving complaint near Webster Blvd and 7th Line.
Instead of stopping, the vehicle accelerated and sped away through a school zone and then a crowded neighborhood.
Police didn’t pursue the vehicle, but witnesses later guided police and the K-9 Unit to where the vehicle was abandoned and the suspect was seen fleeing into a wooded area.
He was arrested without incident.
The youth has been charged with dangerous operation of a vehicle, flight from police and racing a motor vehicle.
The suspect can’t be named due to the youth criminal justice act.
