Three men are in custody after a vehicle rammed an RCMP cruiser while attempting to flee this afternoon, Mar. 15.

At around 1:30 p.m., the vehicle was heading eastbound on Hwy. 1A and refused to stop for a patrolling RCMP officer.

That officer was joined by other RCMP members in blocking the vehicle. The suspect's vehicle was damaged, unable to continue, and pulled into the parking lot of the old KFC on Hwy. 1A.

"Our officers were quickly able to surround the vehicle and bring the three males in the vehicle into custody," says Cpl. Troy Savinkoff.

Three firearms were discovered in the vehicle and the investigation continues.

No one was injured in the incident.
