Several patrol officers responded and the SUV was located near the 100-block of Avenue S South.

Police said as they were trying to stop the vehicle, the driver lost control and struck another vehicle before crashing into a snow bank.

The driver then fled on foot and police said he forced his way into the entry area of a home where chasing officers arrested him.

The 30-year-old Saskatoon man is charged with theft of a motor vehicle, dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, forcible entry, and breach of a probation order.

He is scheduled to appear Monday morning in Saskatoon provincial court.
