On Saturday August 9, police received multiple reports of a green single cab Chevrolet pickup driving haphazardly on Exeter Station Road as well as driving on sidewalks on Birch Avenue.
“Two occupants were observed in the vehicle who were reportedly drinking from alcohol containers.” Sargent Brian Lamb said, “Police made patrols and located the suspected vehicle which did not stop and fled at a high rate of speed. Police did not pursue due to the safety risk to the general public.”
Lamb said Police subsequently located a grass fire on Gustafsen Forest Service Road that had ignited as a result of the vehicle going off the road.
“The fire was extinguished and further patrols and information from the public led to the vehicle being found abandoned on Helena Lake Road.
The vehicle was impounded and the investigation is continuing.
