Instead of stopping, officers said the driver took off at a high rate of speed.

Members of the Saskatoon police air support unit (ASU) were able to locate the vehicle as it was being driven erratically and followed it to a parking lot in the 100-block of 111th Street West.

ASU members then directed patrol officers to the vehicle where a high-risk traffic stop then took place and the driver arrested.
