A 34-year-old Glanbrook man has been arrested after police say he led officers on an early morning chase through Ancaster and the Mountain.

Hamilton police say an officer in a cruiser tried to pull over a black Ford F-150 pickup near Wilson Street West and Portia Drive around 4:30 a.m. Wednesday when the driver reportedly turned around and drove away.

According to police, a chase led to both vehicles driving above posted speed limits for about 12 kilometres onto Garth Street at Stone Church Road West before the driver reportedly bolted from the truck and tried to outrun the officer on foot.

The driver, who was wanted on a pair of warrants, was eventually arrested and faces four charges, including flight from police and driving with a suspended licence.
