Police were notified Thursday afternoon of reports of a Dodge Caravan being stolen from the downtown.
Around 2 p.m., officers located the van near Wellington Street East and Wyndham Street South. Investigators say police attempted to stop the van but it drove into the passenger side of a police cruiser, then reversed over a traffic island and ran a red light at Wellington Street and Gordon Street.
