Two men who took off during an attempted police stop in Hanover last month have now been arrested.
Officers tried to stop a blue Dodge Challenger in a parking lot on May 22 at around 10 a.m.
The vehicle was determined to be stolen.
The driver refused to stop, sped out of the parking lot, almost caused a collision and took off.
Police said they did not pursue them out of a concern for public safety.
Warrants were then issued for the arrest of a 32-year-old Barrie man. He was wanted for possession of property obtained by crime over $5,000, possession of property obtained by crime under $5,000, dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, flight from police officer, driving while suspended and failure to stop for police.
He was later arrested on unrelated matters involving several other police jurisdictions.
A second person, who was a passenger in the Challenger, was also arrested. The 22-year-old man from Toronto has been charged with possession of property obtained by crime over $5,000, possession of property obtained by crime under $5,000 and failure to comply with a release order.
