Ottawa police have arrested three people following a stolen vehicle investigation and police pursuit in the city’s west end early Wednesday morning.
Officers were called to the 1400 block of Richmond Road at approximately 2:00 a.m. on January 28, 2026, after receiving a report of a motor vehicle theft in progress. About 25 minutes later, the stolen vehicle was located near Dumaurier Avenue, where it fled from police at high speeds. The pursuit was terminated due to safety concerns related to speed and road conditions.
At approximately 2:30 a.m., the vehicle was located again near March Road and Highway 417. Police deployed a tire deflation device, which successfully deflated all four tires. Despite this, the vehicle continued onto Highway 417, exited at Kanata Avenue, and intentionally struck a police vehicle.
Police made controlled contact to safely end the incident, and three occupants were arrested at the scene.
A 28-year-old man, a 31-year-old woman, and a 42-year-old man, all from Ottawa, have been charged with multiple offences, including theft of a motor vehicle, possession of stolen property, assaulting a peace officer, flight from a peace officer, dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, obstructing or resisting a peace officer, uttering threats, mischief to property, and breach of probation.
All three accused were held for a show cause hearing on January 28.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the West Criminal Investigations Unit at 613-236-1222, extension 2666.
