If you were in the downtown/James Bay area last night, you might have witnessed a reckless Audi, crashing into several cars in the area.

According to the Victoria Police Department, the suspect first crashed into a parked vehicle in James Bay at around 7:30 PM, before fleeing the scene.

The rash driver continued driving along Quadra St., crashing into an SUV near the intersection of Quadra and Johnson, before dashing away once again.

The driver also allegedly tried to run into several people, including two police officers who were investigating the scene at the time.

Thankfully the suspect has been arrested, and no injuries have been reported yet as a result of this incident.

VicPD are recommending that the suspect be charged with dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, failure to stop at the scene of an accident, impaired operation of a motor vehicle, and refusal to comply with breath demand.

So if you saw a brown Audi A6 recklessly driving down the streets of downtown and James Bay last night (Thursday, October 19th), let VicPD know at 250-995-7654 (or call Crime Stoppers to report it anonymously, at 1-800-222-8477).
