A high speed pursuit ends with the OPP Canine Unit and ERT locating the suspects hiding out in the bushes.
OXFORD COUNTY -- A pair of Norfolk County men are facing a long list of charges after an early morning chase with police.
OPP say a pickup truck was stolen from a residence on Ostrander Road early Monday morning. The suspects were towing the stolen truck with another pickup, with one person in each of the vehicles.
Oxford OPP spotted the culprits shortly after 2:00 am at which time a pursuit ensued. The two travelled at a high rate of speed which resulted in the towed truck crashing into the lead truck causing them to break free.
The suspect jumped from the stolen pickup and jumped into the lead truck at which time they sped away. Police called off the pursuit but continued a ground search of the area.
The OPP Canine Unit and Emergency Response Team eventually located the suspects hiding in a bush area north of where the stolen truck was abandoned.
18 year-old Bryce VanLoon has been charged with Dangerous Operation of a Motor Vehicle, Flight while being Pursued by a Police Officer, Theft of a Motor Vehicle, Trespassing at Night, Possession of Property Obtained by Crime Over $5,000 and Failing to Stop at Scene of Accident. The second suspect, 23 year-old Amos Elliott was charged with Possession of Property Obtained by Crime Over $5,000, Theft of a Motor Vehicle, Trespassing at Night and Failing to Stop at Scene of Accident. Elliot also faces an additional charge of Possession of Marjiuana.
The two are being held in custody awaiting a bail hearing set for Wednesday.
Anyone with additional information on this incident are asked to call OPP at 1-888-310-1122 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).
