Hanover police arrest wanted suspect after chase

A suspect wanted on an outstanding arrest warrant was arrested by Hanover Police Service, but not before a chase that resulted in an additional charge.

According to local police, officers on routine patrol located a wanted 33-year-old man in the area of 10th Street and 14th Avenue.

When advised of the warrant, the man allegedly fled on foot, running through a commercial property and into a nearby residential neighbourhood.

Officers pursued the suspect, who jumped a fence and ran through residential backyards before eventually surrendering.

The man was arrested and charged with obstructing a peace officer. He was held for a bail hearing and later remanded into custody.
