Officers from the tactical support team were able to track down the suspect, who fled at what police say was a high-rate of speed. The driver eventually got out of the vehicle and took off on foot after crashing near River Avenue and Mayfair Avenue, police say.
She was arrested after a short foot chase, police say.
Jennifer Ashley Clarke, 31, is facing a number of charges including robbery, dangerous operation of a conveyance and flight while pursued by a peace officer.
