A police chase involving a moped led to the arrest of a man who was wanted on outstanding charges.

A Guelph Police Service officer was patrolling Lane Street Sunday morning when a gas-powered moped, being driven by a man without a helmet, drove by the cruiser.

Investigators say a police chase ensued but ended as the moped drove onto a sidewalk, then into a park. It was eventually stopped on Meyer Drive.

The investigation into the driver of the moped revealed that he was wanted by police in another jurisdiction.

A 39-year-old from Guelph was arrested and charged. He will be in a Guelph court on Sept 1.
