Original story

The Greater Sudbury Police Service has an outstanding warrant for the arrest of Eric Cardinal for his alleged involvement in a high-speed chase with police.

A vehicle was observed travelling at a high rate of speed on Bruce Street on April 5 at about 7:30 p.m. Officers attempted to stop the Dodge vehicle, but the driver failed to co-operate and continued in an aggressive manner, police allege.

At one point, two pedestrians had to jump out of the way of the speeding vehicle and a fence was also damaged.

The pursuit was called off due to safety concerns to pedestrians and other traffic. The car was located a short time later, with no one in it. An investigation resulted in police arresting a female who is alleged to have been the passenger in the car at the time.

Cardinal is charged with:
- Possession of stolen property
- Dangerous driving
- Flight from police
- Uttering threats to cause death
- Theft of a motor vehicle

Anyone with information about Cardinal's whereabouts is urged to call Crime Stoppers toll free at 1-800-222-TIPS or locally at 705-222-TIPS (8477). You must call this number to be eligible for a cash reward. Tips can also be submitted online at sudburycrimestoppers.com or by texting “TIPSUD” and the information to “Crimes” (274637).
