A 26-year-old woman is facing charges after a stolen vehicle collided with a pair of London police cruisers in the south-end over the weekend.
London police found the stolen vehicle in a parking lot near Wellington Road South and Wilkins Street around 1:15 p.m. on Saturday. Officers determined the red Honda Civic had been reported stolen on July 27. As they approached the vehicle, the driver tried to take off and ended up crashing into two police cruisers.
A woman was arrested without further incident.
A search of the vehicle turned up more than $7,000 worth of hydromorphone, fentanyl, dilaudid, and crystal methamphetamine. A prohibited knife and over $2,000 cash was also seized.
Damage to the two police cruisers is pegged at $6,000.
A 26-year-old London woman is charged with 16 offences including dangerous operation of a vehicle, driving while prohibited, failure to stop for police, assaulting a peace officer with a weapon, possession of drugs for the purpose of trafficking, possession of a prohibited weapon contrary to a prohibition order, and possession of property over $5,000.
The accused appeared in London court on Tuesday where she was remanded into custody.
