A 24-year-old Ottawa man was arrested Friday following an early morning car chase that began in Gatineau and ended in Ottawa.
Gatineau police stopped the car, which had been reported stolen, on Saint-Raymond Boulevard at around 1:45 a.m. Friday, but the driver fled as police approached.
Police pursued the vehicle, on which the driver had affixed dummy licence plates, across the Champlain Bridge and onto the Sir John A. Macdonald Parkway, where he was stopped for a second time and arrested.
He was fined $792 for driving without an appropriate licence and for using fake plates. Other charges include fleeing arrest, dangerous driving and possession of stolen property.
He was released on a promise to appear.
