However, as the officer was checking the driver’s identity, the vehicle fled.
The officer followed in his vehicle and the suspect vehicle went through several parking lots. The driver got out and then fled on foot.
A search of the area along Dalhousie and Aylmer streets — which included the use of the K9 unit — failed to locate the suspect.
The man is described as about 40 to 50 years old and standing five feet five inches. He has curly dark hair and was wearing a black hat, grey sweater and black shorts.
