Regional police have laid multiple charges against a woman in connection with the theft of a vehicle and a collision involving a police cruiser earlier this week.
On Monday at roughly 6:30 a.m., officers responded to a report of a stolen truck from a home on Fenwick Street.
Police said less than an hour later, officers found the truck on Chebucto Road and attempted a traffic stop.
The driver did not stop and struck a marked police vehicle, and as they continued to flee, they struck another responding police vehicle and then struck a third vehicle, which was stopped at a red light at the intersection of Connaught Avenue and Quinpool Road.
According to HRP, at roughly 7:40 a.m., officers found and arrested the driver, with help from the K9 unit.
Police said 33-year-old Nirica West appeared in Halifax provincial court on Tuesday to face charges of:
- Break and enter with intent to commit offence

- Dangerous operation of a conveyance
