Calgary police say a stolen car was involved in at least four hit-and-run crashes Tuesday as it drove “in an erratic manner” throughout the city.

Officers were called at about 11 a.m. about a stolen Nissan Murano driving around Calgary.

Police say a HAWCS helicopter monitored the car from a distance as it drove around.

The vehicle eventually collided with another vehicle after running through a red light at Shaganappi Trail and Bowness Road NW at about 1 p.m. The driver of the other vehicle sustained minor injuries in the crash.

Two men and two women, all passengers in the stolen Nissan, attempted to flee the scene, but were arrested by officers with the help of the HAWCS helicopter.

Police say charges are pending in the case.
