News Headline:

It looks like the suspect or suspects in that wild high speed chase in the north end of Belleville may have made good their escape.

The OPP chased a stolen white Windstar van down Hwy 37 at speeds reaching 160 kilometres an hour around 4:30 this afternoon.

Belleville City Police joined the chase as the van reached the city limits but the driver eluded capture by reversing direction and moving to a number of different roads in the region.

Officers set out a spike belt but the driver managed to avoid that as well.

That's when both OPP and Belleville City officers were ordered to break off the chase.

According to witnesses, the suspects then dumped the van in a subdivision on Country Charm Lane near Foxboro around 5 o' clock and stole another vehicle...a blue Dodge Durango.

There was also an accident in the Cannifton area as the chase was underway but it's not known if the incident is related to the police chase.

At last report, the stolen Durango may have made it to the 4-0-1.
